Doc has no intention on repairing it any time soon, it is still ‘to small’ a tear. So in the meantime nerve blocks will be done every few months, and each one last less time than the one before. By the time he gets around to doing the repair, 0’care will see to it, I won’t get it done.

Campbell Clinic is the #1 ortho clinic in Memphis. He said surgery would do more damage than the tear is causing. He is not the one in pain, with a hand that is getting useless again. If this next nerve block does not work for more than a couple of months, I will push him into doing the micro one. The stupid tear is right under the surface of the skin on the top of the shoulder. If it were the left one, it could be lived with, but I am very right handed.

We are Medicare/Tricare, and got hit from both directions with 0’care.
