No Strength in my Left Hand

I lost all strength in my left hand after waking up one morning after skiing. I had an MRI which showed pinched nerves in my cervical spine. Dr. Braxton had his office schedule me the next day to see him as he explained it was a serious issue and i could lose the use of hand if not rectified soon. The next day he was able to fit me into his Schedule for a Anterior Cervical Surgery. Prior to the Surgery he did a very detailed explanation of it and why I should proceed. Dr. Braxton has a wonderful bedside manner and answered all my questions. The Surgery went great. The next day I was surprised to see I had a small amount of my hand strength back. I am now in PT to recover the rest of my strength. I highly recommend Dr. Braxton and his team. Thank you Dr. Braxton for a great job and helping me get back to skiing ASAP!
