What is Brachial Plexus Injury?

Question

If my left hand doesn’t actively pick up things and my grip is weaker during a handshake, but my shoulder and elbow functions are normal, what’s the problem?

Answer

Based on your description, this could be a symptom of brachial plexus injury. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves connecting the spinal cord to the upper limb, responsible for controlling the movement and sensation of the upper limb. Brachial plexus injury can lead to weakness, numbness, or other sensory abnormalities in the upper limb. Treatment methods may include medication, physical therapy, and surgical treatment, among others. It is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly to receive an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
