I have a friend whose son had a brachial plexus injury and the key is early care. I'll see what info I can get from her. She's so mad that her doctors told her just administer Tylenol, because her son ended up with major neurological issues.
Here's her response to your post:
Yes! Contact a lawyer and see Tim Healey for physical therapy ASAP. He is the best! He's trained in physical therapy and was trained by Dr. T. Barry Brazelton to asset babies under the Brazelton Examiner and basically a genius. Nyas just went to the ER for tortacolls, because they didn't even tell us, but years later found that it was in his chart!!! I wish I would of been given this info when Nyas was a baby and had physical therapy for him. The hospital will not give you this info because it will show fault on the Doctor...they are untouchable in this dark age! Tim is the BEST! Also Super EFA to coat the myelin so they can start to repair. She can order it online at or Dr. Abell's office # ###-###-####.
If the nerve isn't severed, then the body can repair itself with this help that I mentioned, but only go to the best.
Let me know what happens...
