Stingers (aka burners) are thought to result from traction injuries to the brachial plexus in younger athletes and from nerve root compression in the neural foramina in older athletes. Symptoms can vary, but often involve numbness or tingling, weakness or complete inability to move the extremity, and less commonly burning pain. Stingers are usually mild and transient, and their prevalence is probably underestimated as athletes will often fail to mention them to coaches or medical staff. If they recur in a given athlete, the symptoms can become much more severe. If the symptoms do not resolve in 3 weeks, an EMG or imaging studies need to be obtained. Kasow and Curl, in their instructional course lecture, recommend return to play only after the athlete is completely asymptomatic, having regained full sensation, strength, and range of motion.
