Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder) and Diabetes

Hi sorry if this is a topic that has already been discussed. I’m a newbie both to the forum and also to a relatively recent T2D diagnosis. I have already had this problem though it was years before and back then I was never told it was linked to diabetes,( The Dr and the Physio both said they almost always see this with Diabetics mostly especially female) until now. I also recovered a lot quicker earlier but this has been months now. I’m also told it comes in cycles and I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience with this, and how many times they’ve had it. What have they done to alleviate it ? Do steroid injections work much? Does physical therapy help?

Thank you

Thank you for your kind and insightful reply I really appreciated it

Would you speculate that how well you are maintaining your BS has some affect on this condition? Is there a co-relation you might have observed. I totally empathise with the pain I remember the very first time it happened and it was seriously a pain like no other. It made me want to throw up! I was given naproxen for it and told to put an ice pack on it. I saw a physio privately who yanked it all sorts of ways and I’d put an ice pack on it. It resolved in about 12 weeks. I too had been under the impression I must have injured it by somehow sleeping wrong on it etc. I’ve had this bout since Dec. But it is the first time I’ve been told it is par course of my new lovely life as a diabetic. This does make me wonder if I was not already diabetic a good 10 years beforehand as I look back on it ...
I’m really glad to hear you haven’t had this problem since and may it long continue to be so!
