Yeah! I got a name and an idea of my condition.
My story is about the exact same.
Got a flew shot in left arm.
A week later I wake up with severe pain behind the left shoulder blade area. Numbness in left arm, mainly around elbow, numbness in fingers. mainly my pinky finger, and ring finger. I also loss coordination of pinky and ring finger. Could close fingers, but had a hard time opening. Could not type with them.
Pain lasted about 3 weeks. Doctor put me on anti inflamatory and pain meds. thinking that an inflamed muscle was pinching a nerve in my back/shoulder.
I have extreme loss of strength in tricep and pec. muscles. Muscles wasting away. Can barely do push ups, dips, tricep kick backs, etc.
Went to Orthapedic Surgeon. Got anMRI and X-Rays which were inconclusive. Surgeon thinks I have brachial plexus nerve damage. Sent me to get nerve study.
Went to nerve study. Test shows there is nerve damage.
Dr. says nerves heal at a rate of at best 1mm a day. Dr. thinks that I will recover in about 2 years based on the amount of damage that I have.
He said to not drink alcohol, because nerves do not grow well when you drink alcohol.
It has been 8 months since initial pain. I am recovering very slowly.
I have been working out regularly and am up to about 20 push ups, and I can bench about 150 lbs.
I use to bench about 275 and could do 60 push ups pretty easily.
So in about another year or so I am hoping to be near 90%.
