I've got brachial plexus injury to left arm had the injury for 30 years,happened same time i ended up a paraplegic,got
movement in fingers and can use arm for pushing wheelchair, but can't do things like pick a mug of tea up and cant use
knife and fork properly,just little things so i'm fairly lucky,i've always had pain in the arm but the last few months the pain is getting much worse,the arm is getting thinner and the joints crack and make wierd noises, Anyone here with same injury suggest something for pain relief,seeing a physio
at local hospital because of arthritis in right arm joints due to over use,but the physio won't even look at my left arm just told me there was nothing he could do, i take oxynorm for hip pain but they give no relief from arm pain.
