The Brachial plexus is a group of nerves that control each arm. The nerves are numbered (to make it east for the doctors) T1, C5 to C8 when someone has a trauma to thier neck or shoulder these nerves can be damaged. To put it simply, the shoulder can travel further than the nerves have slack in them and the result is one (or a combination) of 3 things:
  • You can strech them
  • You can snap them
  • You can pull them out of the spine
Can you guess what happened to me? ;0(
