hello, come in, take a seat, how are you doing, let's take a look at your right arm, oh, the muscle wastage is quite significant, hmm, tell me again when you dislocated your shoulder, you mean it happened just last month, oh, really, and it's your first time too, hmm, the muscle wastage is really quite significant, and you say there's pain in the bicep and forearm, and reduced sensation over where the triceps used to be, hmm, and numbness in your hand, ok, let's try moving your arm, come, raise it up in front of you, ok, so your range of motion there is still quite limited, i see that your right arm is still trembling too, that means your arm is still quite weak, ok, now raise your arm up sideways, oh, so you can't bring your arm completely to your side, urm, how about backwards, oh, you can't do that either, oh, and you can't put your right hand to your hip too, hmm, this is not typical at all, this stiffness you are displaying, we usually see this only in much older patients, i'm surprised you're showing this condition, this stiffness, and the pain that you have described, it's atypical in a patient your age, i'm not sure what's wrong, but i think you may have a nerve problem somewhere, you may have damaged some nerves when you dislocated your shoulder, some nerve blockage, but we can't see these from your MRI, so i'll need to put you on a nerve conduction test to see exactly what's wrong, and where, and then maybe we can see whether we can try to remove the nerve blockage, but if we can't remove it, then that means the damage is probably irreversible, you know, some nerve injuries are like that, oh, you have a question, urm, well, i'm not saying it's definitely irreversible, urm, well, but really, your symptoms are not typical of a patient of your age, patients your age seldom display such complications, but your symptoms, we usually see these in older patients, they get stiff and their stiffness remains, i mean, in your case, well, the stiffness is quite atypical, the damage could be irreparable, but i'm not saying that it is, but you really need to go for further tests.

Gosh. I'm very sorry to hear that. Don't worry, you are still young. I don't think it can't be corrected. Just try to stay positive and try your best.
