Frozen Shoulder

Hi Everyone, I have suffered this for quite awhile now, I can only lift my right arm very little and no swing when moving. I had a procedure where to put fluid into the joint but that did not work and I now face surgery because the pain is beyond belief, I am afraid that I am having these treatments that won’t work for me. Anyone been through the same thing like me?

I had a frozen shoulder when first diagnosed. But nowhere severe as yours.
I was sorted out by an expert physiotherapist. Prescribed exercise and massage.

I had shockwave therapy - which definitely did the trick.
Have you asked your physio about this?

Hello @Just-a-old-guy @BearNumberOne my wife went to hospital due to pain in her shoulder … Was told to see a consultant… That’s where he Parkinson’s started…

It’s often found to start with a pain somewhere different.

hi Bearnumberone, never had this treatment offered to me, After my surgery I am supposed to be having lots of physiotherapy, I will ask about this thank you for the info.

Hi polo, sorry to hear your wife went through this too, yes they have told me this happens just would like full movement in my right arm again.
