Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am 19 years old and about 1 month ago I began having a pulled muscle pain in my left arm. I ceased exercise in that area and over the span of a week or 2 my arm fell into severe weakness with a weird sensation around the deltoid area. I can barely lift anything overhead and my wrist has also become quite week. I have slight aching pain in my shoulder. The muscles has clearly atrophied by definition between my right and left deltoids and can be simply noticed by touching both. I am quite concerned over als I have seen a nuero who gave me an EMG and found mild denervation in the deltoid region and some ulnar radiculopathy. He sent me for a neck MRI which came back normal. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated as my anxiety over this weakness is growing. Thankyou for your time and God bless.
