Electrodiagnostics: The differential of your pain generator/s is large. Nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and possible advanced imaging such as mris may be warranted depending on the duration of symptoms, event causing symptoms, and current medical conditions. Possibilities may include radiculopathy, brachial plexopathy, or peripheral mono neuropathy. Consider getting a formal pain physician evaluation.
