What's being done for Colt McCoy's injury? | wfaa.com | Health News
"We call it a brachial plexus stretch," said Dr. TO Souryal of Texas Sports Medicine and Orthopedic Group.
While he hasn't personally examined Colt McCoy, he has seen similar shoulder injuries plenty of times as the Dallas Mavericks team doctor for 18 years.
"When you hit your funny bone, imagine how that feels for the first few seconds,” he said. “Well, there is a large group of nerves that goes between the neck and the shoulder, and when you stretch those nerves, like hitting your funny bone, you get the same exact sensation which is described as a burner or a stinger."
