I am not sure if anyone can answer this one. We went to the ENT today. I asked her about Bob's arm and range of motion. Bob and I thought the reason he couldn't move his arm srtiaght out to his side was because of the chest flap where they took his muscle. We thought with thearpy he could regain that ability, by teaching another muscle. We were surprised when she told us that it was from a nerve that probably got cut or was needed to be cut durning surgery. She said that it would not be the same again. We were so shocked that all questions went out of the window.

So, does anyone happen to know what the name of the nerve would be so I can look it up on line? Also what does that mean for lifting? He was lifting tires and working on automobiles before all of this. Any help in this matter would be great, we don't have another appointment untill April 20th. It is going to drive me crazy till I gain some knowledge on this subject.


Thanks Deb
