Shocked
It is really difficult to say.

I have shingles pain occasionally in my right arm... sometimes there is nothing, then I have a few days of pain, then nothing again.

But I never have had "weakness".

I'd report this to your doctor. When motor/weakness comes over sensory issues, the doctor should know.

I have small and large fiber neuropathy, hereditary, with pinched nerves at elbows and wrists, possibly shoulders as well. What you are describing could certainly be pinched nerves. I have days when I cannot pull the clothes out of the washer or pass a plate at dinner. Definitely ask your doctor. Physical therapy may help you regain strength, or it may just come and go like mine.

How are pinched nerves diagnosed?
Thanks,

Nerve conduction study (NCS) done with the EMG. Have you had one? I had one done at Johns Hopkins which took over two hours, and pinched nerves were part of the diagnosis.

I had an EMG done 3 weeks ago that showed a pinched nerve in my sacral area. They said not significant enough to be causing the pain I have but as Susanne said it may be worth a try for you to request one. It may show something you are not yet aware of.
