Welp… saw the neurosurgeon today. Good news is I don’t have to have surgery, the rotator cuff isn’t torn. Bad news is I have a very rare condition called Parsonage Turner Syndrome.
Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by rapid onset of severe pain in the shoulder and arm. This acute phase may last for a few hours to a few weeks and is followed by wasting and weakness of the muscles (amyotrophy) in the affected areas. PTS involves mainly the brachial plexus, the networks of nerves that extend from the spine through the neck, into each armpit and down the arms. These nerves control movements and sensations in the shoulders, arms, elbows, hands, and wrists.
He started me on a course of new meds, and I have to go to physical therapy. It’s a crap shoot. It may resolve completely, partially, or not at all. Only time will tell. Getting old sucks.

I'm going with "resolve completely"
