My rotation is weak. I can't hold a coffee cup steady without balancing it with my other hand. Folding laundry and the rotation motion I make when dumping food or water out of a pan flare up my pain. I did have a few months where I couldn't lift my arm, but that only lasted a couple months. I have a deep aching pain. I did have multiple EMG reports, but they all said different things, and the last few tests didn't test the exact same things as the previous emgs.

Just wanted to let you know I met with the surgeon in Chicago and feel comfortable (as much as I can be) with him performing the Eden Lange procedure. I have scheduled for May 5th. They immobilize your arm for 6 weeks in a gunslinger brace. Not sure how I'll manage flying back on a plane, pain wise.. I can follow with my local Orthopedic doctor, but will need to travel back at 6 weeks and again in 3 months. It's going to be costly, but this is the only option. I just hope all goes well and there are no complications. Still a mystery as to how this happened. He said he has never seen before with the type neck surgery I had. He recently performed on another patient and is going to check to see if they would be willing to talk with me. I will keep you posted - sounds like MagicMom might be joining our club. |

I never did ask if insurance would cover such a procedure. Hopefully it does as I have almost met my deductible for the year again. Thanks for keeping us posted. |

I was so happy to find this sight, but this thread in particular. I think I may have an accessory nerve injury. I have the three classics signs (at least from what I've read so far). I have the drooping shoulder, atrophied trapezius, and winging scapula. And a lot of pain. For me, however, the injury occurred from a fall rather then a surgical procedure. I have read that it can happen this way, a kind of whiplash effect perhaps, not quite sure. In the beginning I thought the pain was from my rotator cuff but the MRI didn't show any tear. When these other symptoms became noticeable I did research and SAN was what I found. I see my orthopedic surgeon on the 30th and I am going to ask what he thinks and have him send me for an EMG.
Thanks for letting me chime in, there is NO place else to talk about this. |

Welcome - apparently, SAN injuries are somewhat rare so it has been good to talk with other people through this forum. Let us know what is determined with your EMG. The EMG is what confirmed the diagnosis in my case. Hang in there. |
