What is the realistic timescale fo this to clear up.
I have 2 frozen shoulders and have been for about 20 years now. I have had physio and private accupuncture. The pain was awfull at first but eventually after many years the pain goes away but now have limited movement. My leg sideways movement is also not good. Been type 1 for 50yearsWhat is the realistic timescale fo this to clear up.
i was given loads of exersizes to do by my physio but little improvement. Even had chinese accupuncture privately who eventually told me she could do no more for me as there is little gap in my shoulders.2 techniques I've found to be helpful when I've had frozen shoulders (thankfully not both at the same time) are to walk the fingers up the wall and back down again, repeat. Also get a towel and use it as though you are drying your back in an alternate pulling up/down motion. Do not strain the painful shoulder on either of these, just use as gentle exercise.
Good luck for a full recovery.
I'm not sur as to how long it takes I have had mine for about a year . I was given steroid injections into the joint which helped with the pain,and gave me some movement. It's at least easier to dress etc etc now I have some movement but it's still very painful. I was told by a consultant that every patient is different and some clear up in about six months others years. Just be aware if you have steroid injections it will play havoc with your blood results. That's why I'm on this site ,I had the injections for my shoulder , soon after I had my six monthly spinal steroid injection for pain. Then on top of all that I had a severe chest infection which required large doses of steroids basically to save my life. It left me with steroid induced diabetis. So just bear it in mind if you decide to get the steroid injections check it out with your GP. I can say that the difference after the injections was incredible it greatly reduced the pain and gave me back some mobility in the joint.What is the realistic timescale fo this to clear up.
