Hello @nychole3080 - You mentioned Parsonage Turner Syndrome (PTS), I have PTS and your symptoms sound very familiar to me. The pain through the elbow into the wrist especially. You might consider looking on the Brain & Nervous System Group - there is a thread there for PTS. I'm 9 months into this... have found the gabapentin helpful. I'm curious how much your taking and whether it's around the clock? When I first started taking it they had me only take it at night - then during the day I would be in excruciating pain. FINALLY I started taking all day and the overall pain is lessened. Please go read that other page if you haven't already. I will go there and make a post to your name to help you find it...

Hello, I’m very interested in your story. I recently went through a few days of excruciating pain in my right shoulder blade about two weeks after an injection of corticosteroids for my low back. I tried everything I could think of that day going from a massage, to acupuncture, I had lidocaine injected in my back and nothing worked. The next day after a sleepless night I saw my general doc who prescribed me muscle relaxers and hydrocodone. They only made me feel insane, they did nothing for the pain.
What test was it that they were able to diagnose PTS? Was it an MRI or?? I’m desperate 😖
