[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 929141, member: 148713"] I am absolutely sure it is an autoimmune attack on your joints. I am equally sure it has nothing to do with high blood sugars or physical damage. It gets confused with rotator cuff injury but it ain't the same. I am sure because I have had all the same elements of autoimmune disorders as you - exactly the same history. But I have three sisters, only one of whom has type 1, one has hypothyroidism, and one has nowt at all (lucky girl). ALL FOUR OF US have had frozen shoulder, with onset in our forties, no previous injury. The good news is, mine is better with only very slight loss of range of motion in my left shoulder. For me the onset was in 2007, and it was painful for a couple of years, range of motion back by 2013 or so. Still improving on left because I do weights and dynamic stretching. I completely AVOIDED all physiotherapy because I read at the time that some physios actually treat for encapsulated shoulder, which makes it worse. And that it is better NOT to treat a true frozen shoulder. That worked for me. I have had dupuytren's for years, in my hands AND my feet. My hands are still completely flexible, as are my feet (though 'walking on marbles' bugs me sometimes), again -stretch exercises. [/QUOTE]
