Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Parsonage turner syndrome is idiopathic. The condition manifests as a rare set of symptoms most likely resulting from autoimmune inflammation of unknown etiology of the brachial plexus.

Despite its wasting and at times long-lasting effects, most cases resolve themselves and recovery is usually good in 18–24 months, depending on how old the person in question is. Other than pain management treatment, Acupuncture and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) can also be adjunct. Work with your doctor for proper management.
