Frozen shoulder

Yeh it's funny as sometimes it seems almost back to normal, then it flares up again. I can't seem to lay on it without it hurting though.

 

Going on holiday in July dreading it if this doesn`t ease up. If its not one thing its another what are we like.

 

Sounds like what my physio tells me to do too, hasn`t done much for me at the moment, oh well will have to see what he says next week, was thinking of asking him to send me for an xray.

 

@Mep
I have had what sounds like exactly the Same thing as u for months now. I first thought it was a trapped nerve, but I'm not so sure now. I also work at a desk, song always put it down to that!
Think I might ask the doc next time I go

Yeh so far I've noticed mine really acts up if I use the computer mouse, do some crochet, lift something heavy, lay on my right side so I'm laying on my shoulder. If I lay on it that's when I wake up with numb fingers... other than that I've not noticed numb fingers... just shooting pain either up or down and the aching. Whatever it is I've had it for weeks (I've lost count... thought it was 3 weeks but come to think of it I think it may have been longer now). The voltaren gel seems to help it so that is why I'm figuring it is something to do with my nerves maybe.

 

Yeh not good Mine just aches and I wonder if my arm may fall off after I've laid on it. It takes a while to settle down. But it's hard because I can only sleep on my back and my right side because of my other health conditions. I can't seem to sleep at all on my left and when I try the gas inside me builds up so much I wind up with heart palpitations after half an hour at the most. It is annoying. Now I've got this shoulder thing going on I sort of am stuck on my back and every time I do go on to my right side I regret it.

 

At Last! I,ve had pain in my shoulder for a few weeks. People keep asking if I,ve lifted anything heavy, or maybe its because I,ve been using the lawnmower? I,m type 2, but on various diabetic tablets, but also now on isulin. I,ve been on it for about six months. At least I now know its down to the medication!

 

Sorry, I don't quite understand how you made the link from a pain in your shoulder to medication, unless I've missed something.

My Physio said, that in her experience, frozen shoulders were much more common in Type 1's. I'm T2 and had two, though what the link between D and FS is I have no idea.

 

True frozen shoulder (adhesive encapsulitis) is not helped by steroid injections but sadly not many GPs seem to know this or confuse it with fibromyalgia which may be helped with steroids. There is no reliable treatment or cure for FS other than time and pain relief but sometimes manipulation may help.

 

Hi i am on my second frozen shoulder.First one lasted for about 4 years with trying with physio,accupuncture and injections before i had an op that freed the shoulder up,then about 6 months till i was nearly pain free.In the mean time i broke my back,and then the 2nd shoulder .Anyway to cut story short i had op on the right one,surgeon said it was worst hed seen.Because i could only sleep on left side and not back,and i have been in the worst pain since having it done in September 15.Have done all the exercises and have finally been prescribed pain patches which have started to help,but this has not helped my state of mind.I have T2 since 1990 and it certainly does not get any better.

 

Hi @Jordi77 I finished my physio yesterday and will still keep on with the exercises so I thought I would ping and see how yours was going.
Better I hope.

I got diagnosed with this yesterday

shoulder impingement syndrome

Sounds jus like how you describe. Apparently a steroid injection is the way forward. It took about 10 mins and should last 3 months.

 

oh interesting... I hope your shoulder recovers well.

Since I wrote the reply my shoulders did get better, but then I had a car accident. So I've just finished physiotherapy last week. I have to keep using heat on my neck and shoulders. But I'm a lot better and just get periodical nerve pain and aching at times.

 

Type 1 here and I have had frozen shoulder in BOTH of my shoulders
