We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Peripheral Nerve Decompression

Some types of chronic pain are caused when a peripheral nerve - one of the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord, such as those in your arms and legs - is compressed, or pushed on. This type of pain often happens after surgery or injury such as a sports injury or car accident. If other treatments don't help relieve pain, peripheral nerve decompression can help.

In this procedure, your surgeon will make a small incision near the nerve that is being compressed and cutting away or removing whatever is causing the pressure on the nerve.
