I had the surgery in January 2005. The surgeon wrapped the nerves in something that was supposed to prevent scarring. I also started PT almost immediately after surgery -- also to prevent scarring. But it happened any way and undid any benefit I might have had from the surgery. Now, as a result of scarring on my brachial plexus, I'm in worse shape.

I was told that one doesn't know if one's body produces scar tissue until one has the surgery. In your case, you already know that you scar easily.

Take care,
Kelly
