Radial Entrapment Neuropathy Due to Chronic Injection-induced Triceps Fibrosis
Muscle Nerve 24:134-137, Midroni,G. & Moulton,R., 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report two patients who developed progressive, sever, painless radial neuropathies (bilateral in one, unilateral in the other) as a delayed complication of chronic intramuscular analgesic injection. In each instance, exploration of the r adial nerve revealed multifocal entrapment within a densely fibrotic triceps muscle at sites between the spiral groove and distal course of the radial nerve near the elbow. Release of the nerve from constriction within the fibrotic triceps muscle produce d improvement in all three affected nerves.
