Brachial  neuritis  is  characterized  by  pain  in  the
region  of  the  shoulder  with  or  without  pain  along  the
course  of  a  nerve  or  nerves  belonging  to  the  plexus
as  the  musculo-spiral,  median,  ulnar,  and  circumflex,
and  is  accompanied  in  some  cases  by  disorders  of
sensation  as  tingling,  or  areas  of  coldness  or  extreme
heat.  The  sites  of  pain  in  the  region  of  the  shoulder
are  as  follows:  (1)  the  point  of  the  shoulder,  (2)  a
site  one  or  one  and  one-half  inches  downward  an-
teriorly from  the  superior  line  of  the  shoulder  and
one  or  more  inches  toward  the  median  line,  (3)  the
center  of  the  scapula,  (4)  at  the  outer  border  of  the
scaiDula  where  the  ann  joins  the  body,  (5)  in  the
interscapular  region,  and  (6)  a  point  one  or  two
inches  above  the  superior  border  of  the  scapula  and
about  two  inches  from  the  spine,  and  (7)  just  below
the  inferior  angle  of  the  scapula.  Over  the  sites  of
the  origins  as  well  as  the  sites  of  exit  of  the  affected
nerves,  tenderness  is  elicited.
