Brachial plexus neuropathy (BPN) is a type of peripheral neuropathy which refers to damage of a single nerve or group of nerves. BPN occurs when nerves in your upper shoulder area become damaged and cause severe pain in your shoulders or arms, also limiting movement and decreased sensation.
Damage to the brachial plexus are most commonly a result from injury, pressure from tumors, or radiation therapy damage.
Symptoms
- Pain in shoulders and arms
- Limited movement
