Anyone else with frozen shoulder experiencing constant pain constant pain down the affected arm ?

I am having exactly the same problem

Had steroid injection in September

Some relief followed but just recently pain has increased again and I’m so worried that I’ve done something to cause a problem that will prevent total recovery

The orthopod said I should give it 4 months and return for a reassessment if no improvement

It is a horrible condition and the longer it goes on, the more irritable and tired I am 

Wish I could be sure that one day it will be back to normal

Also there seems to be a difference in alignment between my shoulders when I look in the mirror

Sorry I can’t offer any encouragement but at least you are not alone

You mean the horrible bone/bicep pain that you can’t even describe where it’s coming from, that goes down the arm, to the hand, takes your breath way and makes you cringe… and makes your hand tingle or numb?  Yup… know that all too well.  The best explanation I’ve got is it’s from inflammation in the shoulder pushing on nerves.  Makes sense.

You probably didn’t do anything, I’ve thought the same thing…

My shoulder that is frozen is larger, sits taller, and pulls up on my shoulder blade.  It all connects… so your shoulder will be out of wack.  How long have you been freezing?  It may just be hitting another freezing spurt.  Mine did that : (  I had an Injection in August, did nothing, and MUA 16 days ago… it’s horribly painful, more so than just having frozen shoulder, but I do have some movement back. 

I do know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, a very looooooong tunnel… My sister had it 3 years ago… and she’s almost normal.

Yes.  My wrist killed me.  Ice was best thing for me but honestly nothing that helped was time.  

Panda62,

I have been suffering from Frozen Shoulder since April 2017. The best relief that I had was from having a Manipulation under Anaesthesia (MUA). I like you was having a lot of pain in the shoulder capsular and down my arm. Also, any movement would cause extreme pain and sleeping was troublesome. I had three straight months of pt and 2 steroid injections with little improvement.  I went against my Dr. advice and had the MUA on Nov. 13th. Not only did it help to restore almost all my range of motion it drastically improved my pain. I am still having some lingering pain but it is certainly tolerable. I am still using a thin pillow at my side to lay my arm on and to support my shoulder. That prevents my shoulder and arm from dropping down to lay on the bed or be bent across my body while lying on my back. If you haven't tried that it might help. 

Happened to me too. I went to a chiropractor who does pressure point release that really helps. I am in a support group on Facebook which is more active than this group.

Bengay extra strength, unscented was the only thing got me through sleep and able to go to work daily. Ppl use ice mineral, I suppose any cooling ointment, hope this helps you in some ways...
