[QUOTE="Ledzeptt, post: 929224, member: 160898"] Hi Ruth It may be related to an autoimmune attack, but it wasn't in my case because I'm not really T1. I'm T3c being treated as a T1 (my pancreas was (probably) destroyed by a gallstone.) At the time my shoulder froze, my BG wasn't under good control and it was only three months after being immobilised in intensive care. It's definitely more common with diabetes, although not certain. My orthopaedic surgeon said 80% of his frozen shoulder patients were diabetic (didn't state type). It doesn't imply 80% of diabetics will get shoulder/joint problems, but we must have a higher than normal risk. I asked him what I could do to avoid recurrence; answer was nothing other that maintain good BG control. I agree with you that you mustn't get physiotherapy before given a diagnosis (for frozen shoulder). The surgeon checked me for all sorts of conditions other than frozen shoulder e.g. Arthritis. I'm pleased you're better/improving in your own way as it's important that we each maintain control over our health. *** For everyone currently suffering, I personally recommend you seek treatment (including physio) as it is possible to get pain relief and mobility rapidly (see my previous post).
