cut nerve/soccer questions

I cannot assert strong enough or often enough as to how the making of decisions related to trauma are not anywhere near as simple and/or straight-forward as making decisions relating to the treatment of naturally occurring aliments in which, for the most part, the basics do not often dramatically differ from one patient to another. As with most trauma, your son's case is almost surely unique to him, and although general principles of treatment can often be discussed in forums, information such as you are soliciting here or even thoughts and ideas which you might then deem to apply to his individual situation are not appropriate fodder for discussion, especially if what you actually want is realistic advice on which you might then base decisions of your own. No responsible doctor would, or at least should, interject opinions based on such entirely inadequate medical information as has been or can realistically be expect to be supplied here. Believe me . . I do you a service by responsibly NOT attempting to second-guess your attending doctors. If you truly want another well-based medical opinion, get one from another examining doctor who can also review all of the medical records.

 

Fair enough- I was just doing my reading on-line, found this forum, and thought to give it a try. I hope I didn't come across as asking you to second-guess another professional; just looking to see what others with some background have to say and then filtering that through what seems right to me and for my son. Your time and thoughtful response is appreciated. I'm pursuing more information from the neurologist, from PT, and others concurrently, so it sounds like I'm doing what I should be.
Best Wishes-
Mick
