Hei!
The passage I'm translating lists this word as a means of describing nerve pain in the shoulder radiating down the patient's arm. Has anyone heard of this term, or could it simply be a typo? Other terms are listed, such as "brenning", "støt", "murring" ..
Grateful for any pointers!
Mvh
Alison.
