A member asked:
What causes severe upper arm weakness, rolled forward shoulders, and winging of the scapula (more pronounced on the left side) in a 30 y.o. female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like: nerve injury following mastectomy if it is one side only. If it is bilateral, more likely a neurologic problem. Get to a neurologist for specific diagnosis and treatment.
