[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 27014, member: 11875"] Scary isn't it? I've not actually quite had frozen shoulder yet, or carpal tunnel, but I've come close. High BG over time seems to glycate the tendons and connective tissues which make these things more likely, mine mostly start from some mechanical/RSI type thing and take on a life of their own. Currently I'm nursing a duff shoulder, God knows what set it off as I woke up with it one morning. Since then it's improved gradually, there's a distinct "knot" still among the tendons about a third of the way out from my neck to which I've been applying ibuprofen ointment. Exercise seems to help as long as I don't overdo it and force it beyond the point where it pains. Currently it's at the point where I go for long periods without feeling it, until I lie down and relax to go to sleep, and I'm having to find some rather inventive sleeping positions. I used to get this a lot, I managed to shift it from one shoulder to the other when I moved offices and had a different desk and computer layout, but it hadn't recurred for a long time. My current ointment is called "Deep Relief" which also contains menthol. Unfortunately I'm also suffering from a nasty cold cough and sinus infection, and hadn't realised until last night when I shook a whole bunch of crud out of my nostrils that it makes me stink of Vick. Also I whiff of compost from the gardening. Be very glad that this is only a visual medium. [/QUOTE]
