Flipping frozen shoulder - any remedies?

I had frozen shoulder through an injury it lasted 18mths. I agree its excrutiating and nothing helped with the pain. Gently using the joint even though it hurts is what finally helped mine improve, stretching it to increase the range of movement and applying cold to it after excercising. I went to a chiropracter for only one session and using the excercises he advised I was able to eventually recover full use of the arm.

It can also be caused by over use too, or a chronic condition such as diabetes or even a stroke. I will get better but also it can recur.. I guess just being careful not to over use a shoulder that has been affected in the past is the best way to avoid a return.

In your position kitty I wouldn't hesitate to have a cortisone injection.

I suffer from calcification tendonitis in both shoulders. The pain is unbearable and I really could not function without the instant relief I feel once I have had my injection.

Heck.
I had it for the 2 years about 8 years ago.
Didnt know it can come back.

I did find physio useful though. Very useful.
The only other thing I used was heat. Direct and indirect heat.

I was told by my doctor that half his patients who have it, dont have any idea what caused it[I am one of those], and half do.

The only thing I do, is if I do feel my shoulder getting cold, I rush to keep it heated. So far, so good, but I dont know if that is through luck or judgement.

I think if I remember correctly I was offered injections for it. I declined.
If I had it again, I might say yes. But as you say, most seem to take 2 years to get better whatever is done, so I might still say no.

Miserably painful kittylester, you have my sympathy.
I tore a rotator cuff in my left shoulder and it took quite a while to heal, but no consolation for you......
