Thank you for the link and input. We had some dr opinions that thought she had RSD before her first surgery and shortly after her surgery. As I mentioned earlier, the subluxing of her nerve over her elbow wouldn't allow the nerve to settle down. The dr that did the surgery tried 3 times to sew the nerve into a subcutaneous pocket-first was too loose, 2nd too tight and he thought he got it right the 3rd time. Unfortunately, he didn't. It still was too tight and caused a 90 degree kink in her ulnar nerve. Scar tissue built up and caused greater pain than before surgery. Her second surgery straighten out the nerve and placed it under the muscle.

She has seen a chiropractor up to a week ago. He noticed her right scapula did not have same range of motion as left due to some sort of adhesions. He work on loosening it so her PT exercises would be more effective. He stretched the pectoralis minor muscle with a lotions and metal instrument and used cold laser therapy to help break up possible scar tissue and stimulate blood flow in thoracic area. He did a test were he took her purse with her arm at her side and slowly raised it to find out the degree where he lost her pulse. First time was 5 degrees. After adjustments it went to 80 and then 110. The thought was that it meant the TO was opening up. Unfortunately she started to have back pain. We haven't been back for a week due to hectic schedule and she is no longer complaining of back pain.
Very conflicted. Chiropractor strongly urges the surgery should be last possible resort. It has been almost 3 years. (which is an eternity in teen years). She wants a normal senior year and not have to have surgery when she is in college. Who knows if she will even be able to have the surgery if obama care takes over. Read blogs of those in Canada who had had 2 year waiting list.
