I'm experiencing a lot of discomfort when raising my left arm. been going on for about three weeks now. doctor says it's a neurological problem.?

Agree: Sometimes we can ascertain that lifting up arm with symptoms correlates with a problem in the brachial plexus, as contrasted to a pinched nerve in neck which improves on elevation. An EMG test done expertly, should point out site of pathology, and also, guide therapeutic interventions.
