A member asked:

I have a damaged nerve in my left arm which really hurts with tingling numbing pain i am having physiotherapy but i am very concerned about long term?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Approach: An EMG test will reveal which nerve is involved, and the characteristics of the electrical patterns can likewise show the extent of damage and provide prognosis for the future.
