I was diagnosed type 2 December 2009. November 2008 I experienced a frozen shoulder on my left side.
I was off work for 3 months, attending physiotherapist appointments and trying different pain killers.
I was classed as pre-diabetic at that time. Eventually I had a steroid injection in this shoulder, and within 2 weeks finally was able to move and use my arm again.
I still have tinges from my left shoulder that go up my neck and to the back of my head.
A couple of months before it was confirmed that I was now a type 2 diabetic, my right arm and shoulder started to hurt and ache. There is a definite twanging noise in my upper arm every now and then, which gives off a lot of pain.
I have mentioned this to the doctors I have seen at my practice on my last 6 visits, but because I can still use my arm (I still do the exercises given to me by the physiotherapist) they just supply me with more pain killers.
