A. hi Given enough time, many brachial plexus injuries in both children and adults heal with little if any lasting damage. But some injuries can cause temporary or permanent problems, such as: sriff joints. If you experience paralysis of your hand or arm, your joints can stiffen. This can make movement difficult, even if you eventually regain use of your limb. For that reason, your doctor is likely to recommend ongoing physical therapy during your recovery. Pain. This results from nerve damage and may become chronic. Numbness. If you lose feeling in your arm or hand, you run the risk of burning or injuring yourself without knowing it. Muscle atrophy. Nerves regrow (regenerate) slowly and can take several years to heal after injury. During that time, lack of use may cause the affected muscles to break down (degenerate). permanent disability. How well you recover from a serious brachial plexus injury depends on a number of factors, including your age and the type, location and severity of the injury. Even with surgery, some people experience permanent muscle weakness or paralysis. for your child...  If you're the parent of a child with brachial plexus palsy, it's important that you exercise your child's joints and functioning muscles every day, beginning when your baby is just a few weeks old. This helps prevent the joints from becoming permanently stiff and keeps your child's working muscles strong and healthy.
