Question : I have a birth injury in my right upper limb. During delivery, the nurse pulled my hand which caused damage. Initially, doctors suspected a fracture and tied my hand tightly, but that led to further damage. Since then, I have limited strength and movement in my right hand/arm. I believe it may be a nerve injury from birth. I wanted to ask — is there any possibility of improvement now through surgery, physiotherapy, or any advanced treatments?
