=====Brachial neuritis===== Brachial neuritis is a term used to describe an inflammation of the brachial plexus that causes sudden-onset shoulder and arm pain, followed by weakness and/or numbness. After the nerve roots leave the cervical spine (in the neck), they combine to form the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that runs through the shoulder and down the arm. Inflammation of this network of sensitive nerves can cause sudden, severe pain. The condition is known by a variety of names, including: Parsonage-Turner Syndrome Brachial Plexitis Brachial Plexopathy Brachial Plexus Injury Brachial Neuropathy Acute Brachial Radiculitis Parsonage-Aldren-Turner Syndrome Brachial Plexus Neuropathy
