Hi
I have a Bracial Plexus Injury for 12 Years in my left lower arm.
2 Questions

If my arm is always cold, like slab of cold meat cold, more so in winter.
would their be a very high chance of complications. ?

I also have my arm hanging down I am aware of gravity pulling down blood to the left arm fingers.
and deoxygenated blood hanging around in the arm.
looking ahead for the many years to come is their a high chance of medical complications?

Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks for your help and look forward to your response.

Hi @Daniel_Munday Welcome to Connect.
We can't answer questions about medical complications, but I'm hoping you'll be able to connect with others who have experience with brachial plexus injury.

What kind of treatment have you had? Here's some info about treatment options http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/brachial-plexus-injury/diagnosis-treatment/treatment/txc-20127386

I suspect if you've been dealing with this for 12 years, you've looked into treatment options. Do you do physical therapy?
