Thank you my friend! Crazy thing is this is extremely rare. Once source I was reading said it’s as much as 1:300,000. On top of that they don’t know exactly what causes it and there isn’t a hell of a lot of research on it it.

Here’s the scoop…
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.

Good luck man. Getting old isn't for pussies. You're terrifying me with my bad neck.

Buncha whippersnappers whining about pain. LOL!!!!! But, yeah. So many of us have varying types of physical problems and it just needs to be dealt with.
I'm 70. And even tho I still move around pretty good, it doesn't take much for me to start hurting. And going to have an xray done on my left knee pretty soon. It popped on me in a strange way several weeks ago and yesterday at my annual checkup the doc set that up.

A friend of mine has a neuro-muscular condition in his legs. He has bi-lateral foot drop and loss of feeling in both calves. His quad and glute muscles have also atrophied which affects his balance.

He was a darn good golfer but had to quit the sport. He doesn't dwell on his condition but admits he misses golfing. I try to visit him at least once a week.

I was an avid golfer as well. I had a 7 handicap, which isn't bad for a weekend hacker. I had to give it up as well. It just hurts too much to play anymore.
