    I’ve been diagnosed with Brachial Neuritis, the onset of the pain was slow and steady, at first manageable then 5 weeks later shot up to a 10 out of 10. Is this the normal progression? Is it possible I aggravated it to have the sudden jump in pain? I’m past the pain now, I have numb deltoid that I can’t move. It’s now 8 weeks after the first pain started on my right side and now the left side is in a similar pain, the same as when the right side started to hurt? Any thoughts?

      Because nerves do not have ability capacity to regenerate and heal because neurons of neuro glial cells lack centromere which is very important for the regeneration capacity, nerves get heal but it takes time to heal

    I got my injury from football. I had almost daily stingers in practice and games. My arm finally gave out after a big hit. It was completely traumatic. I couldn’t move my right arm at all for 2 weeks. 10 years later and I’m still not 100% but I am so grateful for what function I do have. Stingers need to be taken more seriously in football

    I have brachial plexus injury since I was born the doctor pulled me up on my left arm because he couldn't get me out and he damaged my left arm my whole life I have suffered with this and not one doctor not one surgeon wanted to help me and I have to live the rest of my life like this. Nobody understands what it's like to have such an injury and it's in my left arm and it's weaker than my right arm and I'm trying to strengthen it but not doing too well with that.
