Parsonage-Turner syndrome is a condition characterized by inflammation of the network of nerves that control and supply (innervate) the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and arms (brachial plexus). Individuals with the condition first experience a sudden onset of severe pain across the shoulder and upper arm. The muscles of the affected shoulder show weakness, wasting (atrophy), and paralysis (atrophic paralysis) within a few hours or days of the onset of the disorder. Although individuals with the condition may experience paralysis of the affected areas that lasts for months or years in some cases, recovery is usually complete. The exact cause of Parsonage-Turner syndrome is not known.
The specialist has told me that it I have to let the nerve re grow at 1mm a day. Hence why it takes nearly a year to recover. The good news is ..... I can ride my bike again and basically go back to doing what ever I like. The numb fingers will eventually go away and will take some time to regain the strength in my arm.

Hi Nyle,
I am glad you do have a name for your condition, but it doesn't sound at all nice. A whole year to make a complete recovery is a long time, but its the recovery that matters not the time it takes, I guess. Can only improve from here.
Hi Kellie,
I am just beginning to deal with this awful affliction. I was diagnosed with Brachial Neuritis after an I woke up in agony two weeks ago. I am hoping to have this diagnosis confirmed today after an MRI and Nerve Conduction Test with a Neurologist. I have dedicated my blog:
http://tweedlebeetletriatheletle.blogspot.com/
to communicating my trials as I battle this issue (I really don’t even know what it is) and I am hoping to pull as many people who are afflicted with it to my blog and offer this space as a forum and community to help each other.
I am a tri-athlete and had just started training for a half iron man. Needless to say, I am still dedicated to my June 26th start date of the Pacific Crest Long Triathlon... Maybe wishful thinking but better than negative thinking!!!
Please stop by if you have any thoughts, rants, feelings, recommendations or just words of encouragement!!!
Thanks… Tweedle Beetle
