When I met with surgeon re my frozen shoulder he was so thankful I'd not had steroid injections (by the time I'd seen him I'd not been given physio date via NHS; in fact it came through a week before surgery took place). Mine was totally frozen, no movement... Best advice I can give is to get...

I had frozen right shoulder, started in Feb and by the time it was correctly diagnosed in June it had completely frozen (beyond physio) Paid to see a specialist surgeon and he confirmed I'd zero movement and was thankful I'd not had steroid injection. Had to wait for surgery until Oct 31st and...

Hi SewK8, Although nerve wracking, considering I'd only ever had a tooth out under the old gas n air, I can thoroughly recommend surgery. Had it done on Oct. 31st and after much Physio, you must do the exercises each day, I've virtually got complete movement back in my right shoulder... Physio...

Hi Spiker, How do I PM you, I'm new to this forum... I did contact European School of osteopathy and when I saw them they said as it was completely frozen and there was no movement there was nothing that could be done other than surgery?

Thanks for your replies, very much appreciated. Especially kristina's very reassuring and some comfort. The steroid injection is part of the op, I'll know more when I go for the pre-op consultation on the 3rd.

Surgery is keyhole, an arthroscopic Arthrolysis with steroid injection. Apparently I my arm will be immobile for 2 days due to the nerve block and once that the pain kicks in big style but I'm to keep moving it... That's all I know. Only been T1 for a year, obviously concerned how it will all...

Am going in for surgery end of Oct to have my frozen shoulder fixed. Part of the op will be a steroid injection which I gather will increase my BGs. Don't know how long this will last and never had an operation in my life so don't know how pain etc will effect my BGs (I'd expect them to rise)...

Is this policy still running? After my misdiagnosis for a year (paid for a private consultation to be told I was T1 and was rushed to hospital with Ketoacidosis) and recent lack of care re frozen shoulder I'm now looking into this as I've lost faith in NHS... Due to just being fobbed off since...

Cheers folks.... Spiker I've replied to others posts, this is my first question posed but messaging I haven't a clue how to do! Lol. Please advise as the consensus seems give the osteopath a go... Am in Maidstone and we do have the European Training School so I might give them a call Tom

Thanks Robert72 and Spiker. After waiting 2 months to see an NHS consultant after diagnosis for frozen shoulder I paid to see the specialist at Pembury hospital. Earlier today he was thankful I'd not had steroid injections and said as there was absolutely no movement now in the shoulder joint...

Hi I was misdiagnosed for almost a year and eventually after DKA was told I was T1... Instantly my cells jumped with joy when given insulin. I agree with others, your hair loss may well be shock but best check with your diabetic nurse (GPs I've found have little knowledge re diabetes). Re...

Hi I was diagnosed T1 (eventually after a misdiagnosis for 10 months) this time last year. Since January I've had problems with my right shoulder... After 3 visits to the doctor and a private consultation, I've been told it's diabetic frozen shoulder. As I've now no movement in the shoulder...

Well said novorapidvoi26! At the age of 46 I was diagnosed T1 a year ago. I've good HB1ACs and generally good control of my sugars. I say generally as I do love a few alcoholic beverages! As long as your careful, eat carbs whilst drinking alcohol (I've had 8/9 JDs n diet coke) be aware of the...

Dextrose everytime... Dislike Lucozade and know I'd not have the willpower to not stop @ 3/4 jelly beans! Did buy a small tube of Glucotabs to try as Dextrose can be easily broken but when I had a hypo I couldn't take the lid off... so resorted to drinking a small full fat coke

Hi, I've every sympathy for you and had a similar experience in my school. I was told to shut the door and inject in my classroom. This was fine but resulted in me feeling isolated from staff. My classroom was located next to the canteen and was obviously busy at break and lunch, so I always...
