[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1837557, member: 480869"] Ive only read the first page as I’m half out the door. I just wanted to say last year was miserable for me with a frozen shoulder and impingement too. It start as what felt like a pulled muscle at the top/back of my tricep. It got worse and worse, movement got reduced and the pain centred into the joint itself. Certain movements could almost literally floor me with the pain. I was on at various time anti inflammatory tabs which did nothing, 2 cortisone jabs that also did nothing, physio that made it worse (not unheard of) and finally more and more painkillers turning me into a zombie that couldn’t drive and a arm that barely moved , my dominant one too. Eventually physio sent me to a surgeon (you have to go through msk /physio clinic in my area not gp for this). He operated in 3 weeks. Capsular release. Ie inside of shoulder scraped out and shaved some bone to make more space. No way would I have done manipulation. For the first week it hurt like hell and I wished I hadn’t done it. But within 2 weeks I was so glad I did as it was already better and less painful than the 9 preceeding months. Within a month or so I had a lot of movement back and much much better on the pain with no drugs needed. 6 months and most all of it was back, though it still a year later feel a bit “odd”. I couldn’t have lasted another year or more waiting for it to resolve on its own. Surgeon did say with a wry smile it was a bit of a mess and he doesn’t see many that bad. So yes see your dr and if the treatment doesn’t at least help ask to move to the next step. [/QUOTE]
