[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2275627, member: 480869"] I had one on my dominant arm a year or so before diabetes diagnosis. Physio did nothing except cause pain, 2 cortisone jabs did nothing. I had less than 45 degree from vertical lift, was on serious painkillers that left me a zombie and still in pain and discovering a new drug allergy along the way. Ended up at surgery as I couldn’t function. Capsular release (scraping out the joint basically) not the one where they force it around , and also some bone shaved off to allow more room for the nerves. The first week post op was awful and I thought it was a mistake but quickly saw improvement after that. 3 or 4 yrs post op now. It’s never been totally right since but I got all the movement back, just some twinges and pinching feelings at full extension and still some muscular weakness despite my nhs 6 physio sessions! Probably could do with doing more but I’m sure there is some permanent nerve damage giving me pins and needles easily as a result/positioning. Coming off the painkillers was not funny either. Never taking them again Despite the lasting niggles I’d do it again as life was literally unbearable and the surgeon cheerfully showed me pics of the surgery saying it was the “best” one he’d done in ages it was so messy in the before pics. :woot: [/QUOTE]
