I was born with this problem. Since I was born, at 3 year old, started swimming, ar 8 started doing surf, until 15 years old, I wal swimming and surfing, 5 days swimming 1 day surfing per week. At 7 years old had an surgery. At 16 started gym, building muscle aiming back, shoulders and chest. Nom I'm 20. I'm in my best physic in my life, no one (now) say to me that I have an strange body. And people say to me that they would lije to have my physic, this is good to hear, but I don't think so haha, I have a lot of struggle, when I'm in the gym and I compare my self to others, I can't do all types of exercises, which was frustrating at the start. When I was younger my body was crooked. Now it's OK. I do a lot of bar stand, it aligns very well the back over time, reduces the back pain and improves the mobility. I'm still in progress:) but I'm happy in my 20 with my body

I crashed my motorcycle from my own foolish act back in July. Avulsed C5, C6 and partial C7 but with continuity to C7. Underwent a triple nerve transfer. FCU ulnar fascicle to biceps branch, medial head triceps branch to full axillary, and distal accessory to suprascapular micro fascicular transfer. I'm really struggling with the mental aspect of my injury, as the accident was essentially my fault. Only me involved. I'm in my early 20s, and like someone else I saw comment, I feel like my life is 'over' before it even began. Especially after being told sensation would not return, and that some muscles will remain denervated, it is an extremely tough pill to swallow. Hardest part was I was told in the hospital that it would all heal naturally and no surgery was needed, come my EMG test a couple months later, I was told I had avulsions and my arm would never be the same as it was. Quite the roller coaster... relief, to grief... I keep reminding myself it could have been a lot worse, but as I'm sure many of you resonate with, even that doesn't really help. My hopes is that technology and medicine will innovate and come up with some sort of treatment (even for those injured a long period prior) to heal and 'reconnect' the nerve roots and restore the original nerves. But as we know the atrophy is another problem, and so I suppose two problems would need to be solved to combat this. Reversing denervation atrophy and reconnecting nerve roots to the spine safely and effectively. I've been going to physio every week for two sessions, and trying to stay on my home exercises consistently. If anyone has any advice, motivation, or even other treatments or information I would love for you to share it, as I think talking about it helps a lot. Hopefully in these next few months, and years I can get back good function.

It's been a couple days since I had the triple nerve transfer. Same story as you, except my c5 and c6 aren't avulsed. It takes time but I'm sure, as I'm reading studies on nerve transfer, that it will get better for us. It just takes a couple months and we'll be good.

Great video Steve, very inspirational stuff! I developed Parsonage Turner Syndrome three years ago which has left me with permanent paralysis of my left infraspinatus and supraspinatus. Although I'm still able to deadlift, having worked my way back up from 60kg to a single rep with 170kg, I have a horrible nagging feeling all the time that my risk of a dislocated shoulder is significantly increased given that these two rotator cuff muscles aren't functioning. Is this something that concerns you at all? I'm struggling to find any other real sources of information on this so would be great to get your thoughts!

Steve, Inspiring story, the best of luck in further recovery! I had an axonotmesis on the c5/c6 nerves. (so they are partially intact). I am now a year after the happening (a medical mistake putting to much tension on the nerves, bad bad luck. I didn't have any nerve grafts as the nerves where still partially intact. After 12 months i don't feel much recovery anymore. For how long can you expect recovery. After 18-24 months motor endplates die (and there will be no more new nerve connections being made). Can i still expect a bit of improvement after 18 months, maybe the nerves that alreadey connected innervating in a better way? I so much hope for more improvement (doing my excercises every other day and using a massage ball very often), but i dont't notice it anymore compared to 2 months ago. I always have musscle knot and very tight musscles, as all my rotator cuff musscles have difficulty raising my arm. Any tips for me? (for how long can i expect some improvement?)

Hello Steve, 12 years ago I crashed into an electricity pole suffering the exact same injury. I broke pretty every bone on the left side, from my leg, ribs, scapula, vertebrae, teeth and skull. All recovered over 5 weeks in the spinal unit. However the brachial plexus injury has remained. Whilst my wrist and hand are a little stronger, I have no improvement in the shoulder. I still struggle with nerve and shoulder bone pain. I feel I could have tried harder to recover, I see how well you have done.

I have had a nerve grafting surgery about a month ago, still no progress but I’m positive and working for it. But sometimes it gets emotional & negative i think you know what i mean. It would be great if we can talk/connect. I would appreciate someone to talk who knows what I’m going through. Lots of love & respect to you & all of you who are suffering from this. ❤
