Morning :-D. Whist I'm sitting here reading through all the different topics it's just occurred to me to ask if there are any other T1's out there with a frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)? BOTH of mine are frozen, which is an absolute bind. My right shoulder has been frozen for 4 years (!!!!!) is in the "frozen" phase (painful but not massively so but big restriction to range of motion) and my left shoulder is in the very painful "freezing" phase and has been for 1 year (again big restrictions on range of motion). I've been through physio, paid £££'s for chiropractor, had the steroid shots did nothing) a couple of times and have considered having surgery on them. For a T1, my chiropractor told me, it can take up to 7 years to "thaw" as opposed to up to 2 for the average person. It is more common in women over 40 with immune diseases, heart disease being a risk factor. I have both plus the other few things NHS choices tells you about it.
I'm a positive person and although i have T1 and heart disease it's these pesky frozen shoulders that cause me grief and bring me down. When will it ever end lol??
I've also had surgeries for trigger finger on 4 of my fingers and now have dupuytrens discs/contracture.
