EE,

Thanks.

There are certainly some things I have in common with brachial radiculitus:

* Sudden onset of symptoms.
* Right shoulder primarily.
* Trauma: Think this is my original injury.

The wierd thing is, I have pretty good strength still in certain movements. For example:

* Bicep curl with elbow at side: Did 25 lbs x 10 reps yesterday
* Lateral Raise: Did 15 lbs x 10 reps.
* Narrow Grip Press Machine: Scared as hell to do this because I bend my elbow, but it's in tight to my body, but could do a low weight (70lbs).

So there's strength, but then there is EXTREME pain when I a) move the elbow away from my body, and b) Bend the arm at the elbow. I also have a low level, irritating, somewhat burning pain on the shoulder blade/in armpit/down rib.

Now this elbow pain just emerged two weeks ago so it may be that other symptoms may emerge. Based on everything I'm reading, it seems like a no-brainer that I have something fouled up in the brachial nerve complex.

Are there any specific diagnostic tests I should push for to get this diagnosed? Besides an EMG?

Thanks.
