    Hi @tabbytink, Brachial plexopathy symptoms can vary a great deal from minor discomfort to loss of use of your arm. I have some weakness and loss of grip strength. There are posts from some amazing women who have learned to use their non dominant arm when the other no longer functions. Posts are scattered among many threads since the cause can be surgery, radiation or mets. You can type the words brachial plexopathy into the search box at the top of the active topics page to find the many posts. I hope your symptoms do not get worse.

  • My friend has this, from likely from mets, but she does have history of radiation and lymphedema on that side as well. She has loss of use of the arm plus debilitating pain.
