[QUOTE="bajiigirl56, post: 910198, member: 198064"] Hi, Several years on from my doc diagnosing me with "frozen shoulder" (left arm), no physio or investigation, just pills and more pills! Now I've got the similar pain in my right shoulder and was until 1 wk ago seeing a pain specialist for other conditions similar to yours. Basically, she can no longer do anything further for me without my "losing weight!" To cut a long story short, I've followed this thread because my daughter led me to it and suggested my pain may be linked to diabetes not arthritis. Certainly there appears to be a causal link? However, like so many others who've responded to this link I would strongly suggest that you follow your instincts. It's your body and you live with it. Listen to what everyone else is saying. Don't trust the doctors! They will have it that it's your fault that you are experiencing pain because you are not following their advice! I'm 58yrs of age and began experiencing arthritic pain since approx age 11yrs that was not picked up for over 40yrs during which time I nearly died on at least 3 separate occasions through mis-diagnoses. I really lost my temper about 10 yrs ago when my Daughter escorted me, to my current doctors' clinic and he sat up and listened when she mentioned my not breathing for long stretches whilst asleep!
