Brachialgia is a technical term for arm pain. It is used when the pain is thought to be due to a problem with the nerves, most frequently a compressed or pinched nerve in the neck.

Is Brachialgia serious?

Brachialgia is the medical term for pain produced by a trapped nerve in the neck leading to pain radiating down the arm. Like sciatica, it can be of sudden onset and extremely severe or of gradual onset and with symptoms that are more prolonged.

Does Brachialgia go away?

Similarly to sciatica, brachialgia is a symptom of underlying back problems that normally go away by themselves. Initial treatment will focus on addressing your pain. You might be recommended physical therapy, like hydrotherapy or massage, or be advised on stretches and exercises that can ease your pain.
