But at 9 months, I think you are close to the end of the window so you better hustle if you are thinking of going that direction! Otherwise I think you are just stuck with where you are at. Oh...also if you are trying to get better imaging done of the plexus, an MR neurogram is probably something to research..

Dubious, I was afraid to hear that, as that's what I've been reading about as of late. Nerve transfers and the time-frame they need to occur in. 4-6 month from onset. My Surgeon has been boondoggling me the last 6 months just telling me to wait... it takes time for nerves to heal. (1mm/day) And I have very long arms. 2cnd NCV & EMG test Dr says nerve damage is more than likely permanent at this time. My Surgeon dismisses this as "it's too early to tell". I'm befuddled at the handling of my case to this point with him! I currently have 2 law firms digging in and asking me for more data, although I'm still searching for one that does have a specialty in trail law as well. As I now believe, this Surgeon has breached my "Standard of Care" in a number of ways at this point!! Still looking for new specialist to determine if I am outside the repair time frame.
