Official Title: Delto-Tricipital Compression Syndrome: A Randomized Treatment Comparison Trial of Dextrose Injection Versus Physical Therapy.

Brief Summary: The posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve (PACN) can be compressed between the deltoid and triceps, with resultant pain and dysfunction. The active treatment for this study will be injection of the point of compression and along the painful course of the sensory nerve with 5% dextrose. The control treatment will be physical therapy.
