I was diagnosed Parsonage Turner about 8 years ago. I mostly recovered but still have problems with fine motor skills in my hand.
2 days ago out of nowhere my same shoulder started hurting pretty badly. Movement made it worse. Pain radiates down my arm. The pain is a bit less now but still there. I was wondering if Parsonage Turner has returned. What I do notice and I am not sure if that is a symptom of it is that a spot on the back of my shoulder is very tender to the touch, it hurts when I lean against it. I remember I had that 8 years ago too, when I was diagnose with PT.
Can anyone tell me if that is a symptom?

Thanks!

Hello, I certainly hope you don’t have PTS a second time. Once is one time too many! I have had PTS for nearly two years. At least that’s what my neurologist believes I have. Having said that, my condition began with severe shoulder pain on the top of my right shoulder. As I recall, the severe pain lasted for a week or longer and was very tender to touch. After that it spread to my neck and other areas of my shoulder. It was about 4 - 6 weeks before I started to feel numbness and pain in my arm which eventually spread to my hand and three fingers. I’m sure PTS is different for everyone. I pray that you don’t have PTS and will recover from your pain soon!
