Both shoulders frozen and facing surgery
Posted , 3 users are following.
I am having surgery next month to manipulate both my shoulders and to remove some extra bone growth from one. I am in a fair bit of pain now and have little movement in either shoulder/arm which obviously makes things difficult.
Can anyone tell me if things are immediately better after surgery or if it is worse but gradual improvement? With it being both shoulders I am worried that I won't be able to do the basics such as getting dressed or eating!
Is there a simple answer to when will I be able to drive again? I am self employed and if I don't drive I don't work.
Is it usual to have both shoulders frozen? I notice that several people mention it can happen when stressed - I have had a couple of very stressful years and when I saw on osteopath she told me she could see it in my body (I hadn't told her).
I had an mri on the right shoulder (which froze initially) which found the extra bone growth but I am concerned it may be the same with the left but I really don't want another mri - the first was frightening enough! Should I get another mri for the other shoulder?
