I have had it for 5 weeks now and i also have winging in one of my shoulder blades and i cant lift my arm up.Can anyone help?

Yes, I had something very similar a few years ago, my right brachial plexus nerve got pinched, no idea why, saw a few docs who could not figure it out either. My right arm was almost paralyzed and it ended up atrophying quite a bit. Ultimately I rehabilitated it myself once the pain started to subside and I gained use of my arm again.

There are some good diagrams here: http://depts.washington.edu/anesth/r...usanatomy.html

Thanks for your help
