Elusive Disorder with"Sciatica Like" symptoms

 Like the sciatic nerve pain Chloe has similar issues in her cervical nerve which comes out of her left side of her neck and shoulder to her left arm.
Treatment is a select pain management system "tens device" which delivers a low dose electric stimulation to the muscles in question shown to us by a physical therapist. Chloe is responding to the 4 half hours a day treatment positively and starting to ask for the treatment too. This is actually week one of treatment

Chloe experience these "sciatica like" symptoms but in her left side neck,shoulder and arm.
The symptoms of sciatica pain stem from impingement of the sciatic nerve which runs from the lower back area to the feet. What one feels is pain or a tingling sensation that starts in the upper buttocks then radiates toward the feet.

This maybe one of the causes of Floppy Infant since birth but it appears very treatable and took a long time to finally get the elusive symptoms straight. It interfered with muscle development and was unpredictable when she would get shots of pain through that region of her body.
