I'm don't have any advice as I lack experience in this however, keep the thought in mind that time will heal according to the Dr.
I would like to know though, if you had any arm deficits prior to your surgery or was it that doing nothing was going to lead to paralyzation? Did Dr. Clavel say why surgery could cause palsy in 5% of patients?
Wishing you the best outcome.
