A 68-year-old man awoke one morning with severe pain in his right shoulder. On turning his head or lifting his shoulder, he experienced extreme discomfort and lancinating (shooting, piercing, darting, or stabbing) pain. The pain was a sharp, burning pain that moved across his shoulder and down into his right arm. Finding a comfortable position lying down was difficult. A cervical MRI study showed no bone abnormalities, whereas a neurologic examination provided evidence of damage to multiple peripheral nerves. He developed weakness of his shoulder muscles and was unable to lift his right arm. Final diagnosis was brachial plexus neuritis [also known as Parsonage-Turner syndrome]. The cause of the condition is unknown, but it may be related to a flu vaccination he received 2 weeks previously. Treatment consisted of pain medication and physical therapy to rehabilitate weakened muscles in his arm and shoulder.

Then bring him to to hospital or the doctor. He might have a temperature within 35 degrees between 30 degrees if he has a cold. Or might be worse he might have a virus as he might need to test it out. I think I have experienced this kind thing before. I think you just need to massage his right shoulder or go to somewhere where there are people that can help him to massage his shoulders, but if it gets worse then at least go to the doctor or the hospital. Or it is just he has high blood pressure or maybe gas. There are many sicknesses related to this so I am not sure which one is which, but you can figure it out. There are many ways you can fix this problem. You can allow him to drink 3 bottles of water everyday, eat fruits, eat some vegetables, drink some tea, give him medicine if he is sick, going to the doctor if the pain doesn’t stop, if it gets worse then bring him to the hospital and praying to God about fixing the problem.
