Symptom narrative

Received 2x IM injections on 27 November. Woke up 1 December AM with onset of severe shoulder pain and pain radiating down/in right arm. Radiculopathy began same day. Shoulder spasms began same day. Transitioned to burner/stinger sensation in forearm over the course of week. Ongoing waves of numbness in December 24 and January 25. Worse shoulder pain at night when sleeping at outset. I believe the injections were given left side, all symptoms have been contralateral (right side) from Dec 24 to Feb 25. During late Feb 25, some indication of burner/stinger in left forearm. Weakness in pinky and thumb in right hand has been present since late December 2024. Shoulder initially felt like it had sustained an impact injury. Acute right shoulder pain with spasms transitioned to bicep, elbow, forearm pain. Pain has mostly subsided, and now mostly left with weakness on right arm/hand. Pectoral and armpit areas very tender during MT at PT. Pain initially felt like Trapezius and Infraspinatus muscles on right side. Highly spasmodic. Improved with massage and MT. Medical providers initially indicated C Spine Radiculopathy. This was not founded. Hand/Upper Extremity specialist at MGH/MGB states Parsonage Turner Syndrome or Brachial Plexopathy/Neuritis. PMR Physician stated same as well as Shoulder Specialist at Hospital.
