Hi, I just found NeuroTalk while searching for answers for my grandson. He was born with a brachial plexus injury to his left arm. When born he had no use of his left arm, he had Mod Qad Surgery at 18 months and has about 75% usage now. At 2 years old he was diagnoised as autistic, he is non-verbal and unable to tell us what is wrong.

Recently he got the DX of CRPS and appears to be in termendous pain. The pain seems to be spasmatic, it comes and goes. If he gets cold it is worse. He stands on his head which puts pressure on his neck and shoulders to relieve the pain. I was searching to see if he might have scar tissue on/in/around the brachial plexus that could be causing the pain. It is very difficult to find Dr.'s who will take him on as he is non-verbal and can not tell us what is wrong. I was reading about Brachial Neuritis when I found this page. He is now 8 years old and any information would be greatly appreciated.
