Hi Gordie ~ What "mishap" are you talking about? Did you have an accident of some sort?

This sounds like some sort of radiculopathy from some injury, and I don't know what. Do you type alot? It could be a repetitive strain injury, or something like carpal tunnel. That CAN zap you all the way to your shoulder! I had carpal tunnel and my elbow was HORRIBLY painful !!! Once I had the release surgery, I was just fine.

But your neurosurgeon will have to figure it out I'm afraid. I'm just not sure about this. It could be altogether something else.

Let us know what happens after your appointment, ok? I'd REALLY like to know, ok? I'd appreciate it. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
