5 months ago I suffered a fall which I non displaced radial head fracture with brachial plexus injury. My pain has increased and I feel like I did right after the fall. Is this normal. PT guy thought I had a radial cuff tear, waiting for Ortho follow up apt in 2 weeks
Hi, the pain you are having is due to nerve tear in your neck, and this can be very nagging. The first thing I would like to tell u is that you should consult a hand surgeon or a plastic surgeon with special training in BP injuries. Majority of or tho doctors do not treat these injuries and give false hope that it will recover naturally thus loosing golden time of intervention in this worst injury.Also, you need to tell which level is affected in BP injury as this decides prognosis. The pain may be severe and needs help of pain specialist doctor along with BP surgeon.
