I need suggestions on how to deal with this Frozen Shoulder in a positive way. I've been sufferi .

so sorry to hear of your painful shoulder.  All I can say is, I had a frozen shoulder in 2006 that lasted 18 months until I finally had had enough and resorted to a cortisone injection which was very painful but completely fixed it two days later. I have been told by a physio that my shoulder was probably ready to heal anyhow by that time. However, in October last year I developed an FS in my other shoulder. I was horrified! But, a new GP gave me a cortisone jab in December and another 6 weeks later. These jabs did not hurt one bit, truly. I think things have improved greatly since 2006! My shoulder is now better. I cannot believe that it has been fixed in such a short time. I have to say though that I had not been told it was a rotor cuff unjury as you have. I had an X-Ray to discount an impingement before the jabs were done. I also had some tendonopathy in my deltoid tendon (confirmed by my physio) which was healing anyhow. I do hope you find some relief from this nasty condition. My GP did say the earlier he does the jabs the better the result. I hope this info helps you. 

I am sorry to hear about your frozen shoulder. I am now four months into my second one, this time in my right shoulder.  The only thing that keeps my spirit positive is the fact that I know that the constant pain will go away in the next month or two. My first one played out exactly how the typical three phases of FS is described on most websites and in books. I could handle the long period of restricted movement, as it was in my left shoulder, but this time it is more difficult as I have to use my right arm all the time. The pain also seems more intense this time, but I think it is a direct result from it being on my right and having to use my right arm all the time.  In my experience, nothing really helped. A cortisone injection did nothing at all to the pain (I got it fairly early in the process), physio didn't help either, and this time, about a month ago, I even tried acupuncture, with no success whatsoever.  My advice would be to take prescribed painkillers to alleviate the pain. I even take a sleeping pill just so that I can get a decent night of sleep. It is tough as I have quite a stressful job and some days it's difficult to make it through the day. But the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that time does heal this horrible disease. Once the pain disappears, and it does go away after a few months, it is a lot better to handle.

I wish you well and want to leave you with the message that you will get better, sooner than you think. I don't think one should take drastic action too soon, although I can fully understand why people do it. The only thing that worked for me was pain medicine, giving it time to heal, patience and staying positive.

Wishing you strenght and a speedy recovery.

I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder about six weeks ago. Doctor has me going to the physical therapist twice a week. The therapist has me doing stretching exercises 1-2 times a day (for about 30 minutes each), followed by icing the shoulder for 10 minutes. The range of motion is gradually getting better. Sometimes it's frustrating -- you don't feel like you're getting better, but the exercises do help. I can definitely tell when I go a couple of days with the exercises.
