Axillary Nerve Syndrome

Axillary (anterior intercostal) nerve syndrome is an acute or chronic painful lesion of the nerve and surrounding tissues, associated either with its injury or with compression by partial pinching in the area of ​​the axillary fossa.

Damage to the spinal root due to intervertebral hernia (pathological tension of its roots leads to irritation of the posterior entrance to the nerve plexus, which is released from the nerve root), as a result of the fact that it rises up and is compressed by the herniated disc. And also due to overextension, often after incorrect successful surgical intervention for spondylosis (primarily, patients are characterized by injury to the nerve plexus and synovial membrane, and sometimes an injured intervertebral disc). Either due to post-surgical bone deformations that occur after removal of cysts, tumor lesions of bones, or bone plastic surgery due to a fracture or unsuccessful reposition (distortion) of the bone.

Axillary branch syndrome (Hunt syndrome - when the subclavian or iliac arteries are damaged with occlusion of the branch supplying the anterior axilla), includes a number of symptoms of the upper extremities (for example, pallor, swelling of the forearm and hand, ischemic contracture, weakness of flexion and extension of the metatarsus, palm , brushes). In the presence of concomitant Hunt's syndrome, the pain picture can last from several hours to several days.

One of the non-drug factors affecting nerve ending syndrome is positional treatment: conservative therapy includes fixing the limb with orthoses made of cotton materials.
