Jo55- that is who did my first 2 surgeries see www.sonic.net/bjj the idea was to release Long thoracic nerve and 2nd one tried that fat pad over the nerve--it worked with 2nd surgery for 36 hrs--until I lifted my arm accidentally to put reach for a hanger in closet--I was staying with friends in Dallas--but closet was too high. Surgeon did not tell me ANY restrictions--and my ARM felt totally NORMAL again--not like after 1st surgery with Nath. My scapula was holding great for 36 hrs until I reached up for the hanger too high and that was the END of scapular stabilization again. Fat pad thus didn't work. Avery took the WHOLE thing out and damaged so much of my neck in the process I'm certain I will die from this deterioration of much of my neck structures. A person cannot atrophy too much in this area--the R hollow-and now whole R side and back of the neck because it affects too much else. www.sonic.net/bjj It is a very difficult life. You can see the deeper ligaments of my neck and they are pulled tight like the dickens--swallowing is difficult--breathing, getting a deep breath, use of both arms, standing, holding head up...how will I survive this? Front trap. has died and collar bone is hanging way down.
I can barely make phone calls--let alone find some plastic surgeon who can rebuild a neck like mine. I did contact a one near San diego once and even he turned me down over phone. Too many vital structures--If you can think of any place that might keep me alive--please forward my website with a note to call me please. Thank you. Triste
