Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Tingling After Shoulder Injury
Brief Answer:
injury may affected a nerve from brachial plexus
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The brachial plexus is a group of nerves that come off of the spinal cord in the neck.
They pass through the neck and the muscles at the shoulder and continue on to the axilla (arm pit).
They send off different branches that are responsible for sensation and movement in the arm , forearm and hand.
It is likely that your shoulder injury (aggravated by the weights) would have affected some of these nerves though it is unlikely permanent.
It would be best to visit your doctor so that he or she can determine , by history of which fingers affected and physical examination, which nerves are involved.
Specific nerves supply specific fingers and they branch off at different points.
Treatment would consist of rest, directed physiotherapy possibly after a certain time period and pain killers if there is pain.
You may need imaging to take a look at the shoulder joint to determine the extent of the injury.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
