Abstract

Nerve entrapments about the shoulder can cause severe pain and can be disabling. A precise diagnosis must be established based on a thorough history and physical examination, and laboratory tests (EMG for example) are necessary. Definitive treatment with decompression or release of the affected nerve often relieves shoulder pain.
