Hey All, There is help out there for phrenic nerve damage. Thanks to Ross an Jerry 2 people that talked to me about Dr Kaufman. I was told by my pulminary Doctor to go home an live with it. I am sitting in hotel room in New Jersey just had surgery May 20 when I woke up after surgery it was like someone took a brick off my chest. Had some decompression from old injury done to nerve and a graft done from my serial nerve in leg. Just from decompression feel great relief. Hope to fly home tomorrow an looking forward to a better quality of life. Any one out there with phrenic nerve injuries there is hope. Nick
