Default Hi Stronger Man

This is so familiar! I had all those symptoms, including the hand & bicep pain & weakness. EMG was normal, MRI was not, but Dr.'s said cervical problems couldn't be causing my symptoms. I thought the cause was thoracic outlet syndrome, then cervical cord issues. Dr.'s disagreed.

What I DO have (finally, after years, a diagnosis) is chronic myofascial pain. My back (and the rest of me) is covered in muscle knots & trigger points. If you can press on a tender spot on your back & pain travels down your arm, that may be your problem, too. It is excruciating, but treatable.

Wishing you a fast diagnosis!

Mary
