Hi, I finally went to the Physical Therapist for my shoulder pain and she says it is not frozen shoulder like the orthopaedic thinks. She says my trapezius muscle has fallen! I have very little muscle activity there. She is thinking the cranial nerve XI has been damaged and my other muscles are compensating for the lack of movement. but my orthopaedic doctor is out for 2 weeks so I won't know anything for sure until I see him.
Anyone experience nerve damage? is it reversible?
What can be done about this?
Thanks, Mary
