Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the injury, and may not appear until days, weeks, or even months after the initial injury.
How Is A Brachial Plexus Injury Diagnosed?
Brachial plexus injuries can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms vary so much depending on the individual. Your doctor will likely perform a physical examination and take a medical history to rule out any other potential causes of your symptoms. If brachial plexus injury is suspected, an MRI or CT scan may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis.
Seek urgent medical care (GP, A&E, or call 112/999) if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or buttocks, progressive leg or arm weakness, or pain with fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or breathlessness.
