Post surgery 5 and 1/2 weeks Frozen shoulder

i dont im sorry im having surgery tomorrow on my shoulder my surgeon said it takes a few months to heal. So i think just bare with it, your body takes time to mend. I had to give up with PT as itvwas too painful and actually made it worse for days and days after i cried. I had a 2 steroid injections the first did mothing didnt touch it the 2nd reduced the pain a bit i still get pain although not as bad as it was i slipped in the shower the banged.my arm my god i cried so although bearable its still not right and still have reduced movement. The probem i have now is i work as an operational law enforcement officer they have given me to november to get it sorted if not im being moved from my team to another job. Now i have never been or worked in an office nothing.wrong with but its just not me i was in the Army for ten years. so im feeling under pressure to get it fixed the surgeon examined it he said the joint is really stiff so i know im having a decompression and capsular release i had hydrodilation didnt work because i couldnt tolerate the pain even under local anaesthetic so no choice to get surgeon to tidy it up and sort it out my fear now is my right shoulder but they think it could be over compensation personally i dont think it is i think my other shoulder will go but hope you get well soon give it time my surgeon said few months 5 and a half weeks is just a month so keep with it i know its a bit soul destroying you will get their summer is on its way too so sunshine is always a good healer too xx

Hello Samommy 12. I'm about 9 months in now and the pain is starting to ease a little. It's a condition that takes a lot of time to mend. I have also cried in pain and I can't believe how FS impacts on my whole life. Get yourself a TENS machine. Theyre tiny but they do help with the pain. I have very restricted movement still. I wish this post was more positive but I thought I was going insane till I found this forum. You are not alone. Stay strong.

I can definitely relate to your frustration. I too had fractured humerous and a surgery to repair the tendons. I am at 12 and a 1/2 weeks from surgery. The PT has been brutal but I can honestly say I feel less pain now but still have stiffness. I remember feeling will i ever have a day without pain. My surgeon wants to go back in and clean out the scar tissue and check my rotator cuff because an mri has shown a partial tear and adhesive capsulitis. I am very leary of this. Wondering if I should just live with the stiffness and moderate pain. For you I say just stick with the PT. I know it is painful but you will get to a point where you will feel relief. Someone on here has also advised me to stay away from sugar. Only consume natural sugar . There is a correlation between sugar and pain. I wish you luck. This injury is a long journey.
