I had an MRI a couple of weeks ago to see what was wrong with my shoulder. It has been bothering me since high school, but has always been diagnosed as a rotator cuff problem and then I am sent to PT. Well, my new doctor here decided to do an MRI on it to see what was really going on. First of all, I had to be drugged for the MRI because the machine wigged me out so badly. That was lots of fun. I finally talked to a nurse at the clinic today and he told me I have great cartilidge, but the MRI showed something called Parsons-Turner Syndrome. He used a bunch of words I didn't understand to tell me that what it does is affect the nerve bundles in my shoulder causing severe pain in my shoulder, arm, and chest. It explains my problems to a T. I even had to go to the ER over the summer with chest pain on the left side, same as my shoulder. Here is the funny thing. It is extremely rare. I can't find shit on it. Here is the one line I found:
Parsons-Turner Syndrome, which can be very painful and is not that common
Lots of help, huh? Google girl. . .work your magic please

I am sorry to be late with these!
It was hard to find, because apparently this is an out-dated terminology- See Here
Try reading Web MD's description, see if that helps.
Here is my google search after I realized you have to call it Parsonage Turner Syndrome.
Here is the second search adding "treatment" to the end.
Good luck baby!!
try googling "mri findings of 26 patients with turner-parsonage syndrome"
good luck
