The paralysis involves limpness and rapid wasting of the affected muscles. Tendon reflexes might be affected, depending on the severity and extent of muscular paralysis and wasting.

Muscle weakness in Parsonage Turner syndrome can last for weeks to months, with gradual improvement over time. In some cases, full recovery may take up to a year or longer. Physical therapy and exercises are often recommended to help regain muscle strength and function.
PTS, also known as brachial plexus neuritis or neuralgic amyotrophy
Parsonage-Turner syndrome typically affects the brachial plexus, a network of nerves that control muscle movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand. In rare cases, it can spread to other parts of the body, but this is not common.
Individuals with the condition first experience severe pain across the shoulder and upper arm. Within a few hours or days, weakness, wasting (atrophy), and paralysis may affect the muscles of the shoulder.
There is a male predominance in PTS with a male-to-female ratio ranging from 2:1-4:1.
The symbol for Turner syndrome is a butterfly. This symbol represents hope, transformation, and beauty in the face of challenges associated with the condition.
A severe case of Turner syndrome would be if someone who has many of the characteristics associated with it, especially if these characteristics were the possible problems with the heart, kidney or thyroid.

Individuals as young as three months or as old as 74 years can be affected with PTS; however, the prevalence is highest in young to middle-aged adults.
Juvenile arthritis, an autoimmune condition, has been recently (1998) associated with Turner syndrome. The prevalence seems to be at least six times greater than would be expected if the two conditions were only randomly associated
Turner syndrome can rarely be inherited
