What Is the Brachial Plexus?
A: The brachial plexus is a group of nerve cords that travel from your spine in between your collarbone and ribcage before reaching your arm.
Because the brachial plexus path runs through this small space between two movable bones, injury can occur if the bones pinch the nerve. Injuries can occur also as a result of excessive stretching of the nerve. The brachial plexus can be injured by falling onto your side, or traffic accidents, especially motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accidents.
In addition, birth injuries as a result of shoulder dystocia can cause severe brachial plexus damage resulting in Erb's Palsy.

Medical Malpractice
- My wife died from a pulmonary embolism ten days after give birth to our child by c-section. We told her doctors and nurses at follow-up appointments about her leg swelling. We called her Ob/Gyn two days before that but he never returned our call.
Her doctors and nurses knew my wife was at risk for pulmonary embolism and that she was overweight. No one examined anything but her swollen ankles at the follow-up appointment. They didn't run tests on her heart, lungs or chest. They didn't check her pedal pulse like I read they should do. This has got to be medical malpractice, right?
- My right lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was damaged during my hysterectomy. I am experiencing much pain now and it's so difficult to walk that I can't work in my sales position any more. My follow up exams found that my nerve is not severed. However, my EMG was quite abnormal. Is this the surgeon's fault?
