Phrenic Nerve

[AudreyB]

Is it possible to have an inflamation of the phrenic Nerve, on one side only?

[National Jewish Health]

Yes it is possible and much more common than bilateral phrenic nerve inflammation or any other disease process.

About five years ago I fell down the stairs and hit my mid back.  I was taken to the hospital where they did x-rays then sent me home.  I have never experienced such exquisite pain in my life, even childbirth twice.  Since that time, I have had difficulty breathing and taking full breaths down into my abdomen.  Is it possible to have injured some nerves to the diaphragm or something???
