Frozen shoulder and feeling dizzy

Posted , 4 users are following.

awaiting an operation for Frozen shoulder, it's pretty locked in but I'm not in as much pain as I was its just a week ago I had a severe dizzy turn the room was spinning I vomited and the whole day felt like I couldn't move my head properly without spinning and feeling nauseous. A week on and still feeling unsteady. At times although has improved, just wondering if it's anything to do with Frozen shoulder! Has anyone else experienced this?? Good to here back from anyone out there thankyou xx

    Hi,

    I've had a few episodes where room is spinning etc. could be related to your neck which gets involved in frozen shoulder. It will pass but mention it to DR. I've had problems with middle ear in past too!

    Hi Sara,  vertigo has been part and parcel of my whole situation but this was present mildy before I had an accident which triggered frozen shoulder, I also fractured my neck in the same accident which mended but suffered extreme vertigo for months then when my neck had healed enough had the Epley manoevre in ENT which cured it but it does keep returning but not as bad as it was.  I have found that since entering the second stage of frozen shoulder i.e. the pain has reduced significantly, I am getting more and more dizzy spells as opposed to vertigo.  It is important you get any ongoing symptoms of either dizziness or vertigo checked out as to the cause so ask for a referral to ENT.  Neck I think does play a big issue in it and of course any sudden jolt can cause the crystals in the ear to dislodge I understand - look up BPPV ont he internet.   I have my long awaited for operation next week but now out of the extreme pain I wonder if I should let nature take its course as it is manageable when you can at last get some sleep!  wishing you all the best x
