@johnbishop the doctor prescribed Gabapentin which I didn’t want to take at first. Now, I am because I work full time and need something to be able to continue working.

Hi, @chriso12345 - As you'd asked about suggestions for managing the pain with your Parsonage Turner Syndrome, I'd like to invite members like @jjspokane61 @mydolly @patrick17 @confused1955 @andylevine @yaseen786 to come back to this discussion and see if they'd have some input for you. Hoping they may also have some thoughts for you on therapies like using heat and cold, and cupping, plus the numbness in most of your hand and its hypersensitivity to cold and how that might be managed.

While awaiting their return, you may be interested in reading this NIH information on Parsonage Turner Syndrome, https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/4228/parsonage-turner-syndrome.

You mentioned taking gabapentin and that it's helping you continue working. How is it working for managing your pain? Are you experiencing any side effects from the medication?
