Hi everyone, I'm just trying to get some advice about frozen shoulder. I have 2 and have had for around 3 years. Still so painful and such limited movement it really affects my day to day life and it's starting to really get me down! The constant pain! The GP has said on more than one occasion to take paracetamol and it will go eventually. Can anyone help or advise please? Thanks.
Hi
While not having suffered frozen shoulder I can sympathise.
RTA broke my shoulder and other limbs
While no way the worst injury, the shoulder caused immense pain if moved suddenly .
As I tended to 'twitch: while I was dropping off.
I mention only as it was impossible to get to sleep.(was in hdu 4 weeks)
Prescribed paracetamol & codeine alongside the morphine drop
Repeated requests for better meds or a more thorough investigation of causes,
( Eventually prescribed amitriptyline after
3 torrid nights
)
Doctors eventually found its was bursitis under broken shoulder blade
Amitriptyline......
Was the only thing that made sleep possible.
I still take some nights.
And I can attest to the zombie feeling first hour or two after waking , so be aware if you take it .
Best wishes You get some aid for it soon,
Frozen shoulder, sounds horrendous
