Hello.
Sorry I have been away from the site lately. I strongly suggest that your sister talk with Dr Kaufmans office and see if they can offer some help. I had a nerve transplant and you may have seen some of my posts on here in the past. Several others I see have been to Dr Kaufman too and I hope you are doing well. I'm coming up on my 6 month anniversary since my surgery. The jury is still out but since my last post I did run 1/4 of a mile. Considering that I could only run about 50 ft prior to my surgery i only look for good things to come. You can find him on the web at the advanced reconstruction surgery website. Good luck and If you have any questions please post. There are many of us out there with some form of this problem and there is help for many if we can only find the right person to help.

My sister in law is always sick and this is no way to live life especially as young as she is any advice would be wonderful
Thanks have a great day and God Bless
