I have just had Diabetic Frozen shoulder surgery for the second time. It's time was Sept 18 on my left side and now 2nd surgery today on my right side January 20. They say one of the biggest causes are high blood sugars but mine were actually really good before getting the symptoms
The first time I had it I had physio, cortisone injections, acupuncture and two years of painkillers before surgery. I was then pain free and slept again for 4 months before getting it again in my other shoulder.
The pain tonight is absolutely unbearable after the numbness has gone. I have been in immense pain for the last 7 months this time and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Tonight is 20 times worse and worse than my first surgery. I have cried, screamed, tried ice and heat on the shoulder taken all the painkillers I can take (only Naproxen and Paracetamol), tramadol, amatripterliene (spelt wrong) and codeine all make me sick and cause terrible headaches.
I actually feel like chopping my shoulder off right now, the pain is that bad and I do have a good pain threshold .
