Specializes in Radiology

Perhaps: A pain specialist can do a temporary brachial nerve block. Consult your doctor if there is a physician that could do this.

Brachial neuritis: He needs to see a neurologist, there are a number of good medications available to treat what is an inflammatory disease.
