Patient's question:
Sometimes, I suddenly start experiencing pain in my arms and shoulders, which can last for several days. I feel very weak in my arms and find it hard to lift them. Sometimes, even when someone touches my shoulder, I don't feel it. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as brachial plexus neuritis.What kind of help is needed: What are the causes of brachial plexus neuritis?
Doctor's answer:
With brachial plexus neuritis, it can be divided into traumatic, pathological, and chronic pain that is prone to delayed phantom limb pain, which may accompany a lifetime. In the early stages of brachial plexus neuritis, symptoms often include burning pain and systemic symptoms, typically starting with severe pain in the shoulder and upper limb. Within several months, upper limb muscle weakness may recur, with changes in irradiation, making the affected area prone to muscle atrophy. The condition can be unilateral or bilateral. Patients should seek further diagnosis at a hospital and develop a scientifically effective treatment plan based on their condition to provide significant help. It is recommended that patients seek treatment at a formal hospital.
