Overview

Parsonage-Turner Syndrome (PTS), also called neuralgic amyotrophy, is one of the most painful and under-recognized neurological conditions in medicine. It strikes suddenly-often in healthy people-leaving behind burning pain, muscle weakness, and months or years of recovery. For decades, it was mislabeled as rare, misdiagnosed as rotator cuff injury or spinal disease, and misunderstood even by specialists. Unraveling Parsonage-Turner changes that. Dustin Gross offers patients, families, and clinicians a complete, compassionate, and evidence-based guide to navigating this complex disorder. From the first searing nights of pain to the long road of rehabilitation, this book blends clear medical science with real patient experiences, practical coping strategies, and hope. Inside you'll find: Plain-English explanations of the condition, its history, and the latest research Clear breakdowns of symptoms, red flags, and how to distinguish PTS from mimics Guidance on diagnosis, including EMG, MRI, and cutting-edge imaging like MR neurography Treatment options-pain management, rehabilitation, immunomodulation, and surgery Real-life patient stories that reveal the human side of the syndrome Practical strategies for daily life, work adaptations, and mental health resilience With honesty and empathy, Unraveling Parsonage-Turner equips readers not just with information but with perspective. There may not be a single cure, but there are tools, options, and a growing community of support. Knowledge is power, and for those facing PTS, this book is a compass.
