Wrote this for empowher.com, The Burner In Contact Sports

I doubt many of us are playing contact sports these days.:Retro tongue: But the article describes a type of injury to the brachial plexus which has its origin in the spinal cord and controls movement and feeling in the shoulder, arm and hand. Describes the symptoms and whatnot.

I find each of these articles I'm researching for brain / nerves gives me just a little better grasp of the way our bodies work ... or malfunction.:rolleyes:
