Hi All,
I had a painful shoulder last May 2008, I went to my GP who said it was a frozen shoulder. She arranged for some physio for me, the pain i felt quite bad at times as it shot down my arm to my elbow, it felt like someone was trying to drill my elbow. I had 4 months of physio, the physio said it was not a frozen shoulder but my muscle was being impinged by the joint I did as I was told, I pulled on tension bands, rolled a ball up and down the wall, pushed my weight against my shoulder and the wall and 16 months on I am still the same. i don't sleep well at all, I have to rotate my shoulder joint to get comfortable, but about once a fornight I take strong painkillers to get a good nights sleep.
hopefully it will get better.
