A member asked:

Since i was 12 im 33 now i have a repetative strain in a nerve on my left shoulder confirmed by mri that shoulder seems to be wasting & my neck why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve damage: Nerve damage causes decrease function of the muscle they innervate. The motor unit might decreasing to a point that the muscular fibers are becoming atrophic. Need to exercise those muscle and recheck the mri.
