Specializes in Internal Medicine

Neuropathy: Your symptoms are suggesting a neuropathy. Depending on its exact location it may be due to a pinched nerve in your cervical spine or a brachial plexopathy. The message from ER is that that did not feel that this was a life threatening condition, but you definitely need follow- up, ideally, with your doc.
