I had a frozen shoulder about 5 years ago and didn't realise that they get better over two years whether you treat them or leave them alone. confused I spent a fortune on physiotherapy and sure enough, two years later, it was better!!

Anyway, it's back! angry I've found some exercises on the internet and I'm taking painkillers etc and using voltarol. Does anyone have any other suggestions? And, is it likely to keep occurring? And, if so, can I do anything to prevent it? And, what causes it?

Thanks for all the tips, help and links.

Friend couldnt make it to the doctor appointment. He was in too much pain.
He was taken to A&E. Cant write too much about his personal health, but hopefully they will sort out what is wrong with him now.
Sent friend the advice from on here.

Sorry to hear that obieone. I do hope the hospital can sort it out successfully flowers

Very sore point with me! Had a hospital appointment on Monday, really hoped there might be progress, but no, just a different set of exercises to do etc etc.

This has been going on since last October, first osteopath, had to stop that due to cost, then referral to physio, then Senior physio, now what is called "orthopaedic liaison/interface ", basically another bloody physio!!

Aaaarrrggghhh!
