Wasting triceps & pectoral, loss of strength

[ontheway]

Well it has been just about 2 years since my first answer to what was going on. I am pretty much back to full strength. Needless to say I have never had another flu shot! The only thing I can say is keep up hope. I continued to work out during the weak times and did not cause any damage. Before getting any surgery I would definitely explore the possibility of the flu shot being the cause of anyones issues. Let me know if I can help with anything.

Just found this thread. Thank Google.

8th jan this year , intense pain back of neck - shoulder. Tingling/numb fingers. Initially a lot of skin surface muscle flicking on pectoral and back of shoulder.

Immediately went physio and have done weekly and bi weekly ever since and doctor (Gabapentin) and will be seeing Neurologist on the 28th of this month.

On rhs Weak triceps, totally winged scapula and just noticed for first time this morning, that pectoralis major not working. Also right forarm becoming sore. All scalenes tight. Seem to be going down hill. This is confirmed by my physio recording reflexes on triceps, biceps etc.

My background is building work and a lot of rock climbing. Presently not driving, working, climbing and not walking a long way either.

I need to get the most out of this consultant appointment and am not sure how to handle it. I'm just a bit overwhelmed.

Any help appreciated. thanks in advance.
