i am getting an MRI tomorrow afternoon to diagnose possible pinched nerve. My left tricep is at about 10% capacity and left pec muscle feels week. I m also feeling constant dull achy pain in left scapula, trapezius,and neck. what can you tell me about this?
Hi. This definitely sounds like one or more nerve root compressions in your neck and possibly also in your thoracic spine, most likely from one or more ruptured discs. When a muscle becomes denervated--lack of nerve stimulation--it gradually atrophies--loses mass. If the above is the case with you, this will likely require surgery to get the pressure off the nerve roots
