Does this sound like frozen shoulder?
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi everyone, for the past couple of weeks I have had pain in my shoulder which also seems to go into my armpit and across neck, shoulder feels stiff, I can lift it but it hurts. I go to Chiro every week for my neck problems anyway but not had this pain in shoulder like this before. So just wanted to ask does the pain from frozen shoulder also hurt in armpit etc? Guess its another trip to Doctor if it doesn't soon go away, seems to be getting more painful each day at moment. Thanks

From what I gather reading over different posts on this site, FS comes in a variety of ways depending on the patient. Mine was definately frozen when it got to the point that I could not lift my arm away from the side of my body without excrutiating pain pretty much all through the shoulder along with shooting pain down the arm to the albow and occasional spasms in the wrist. Yes it was also a 'pain in the neck' literally, which reduced me to tears many times. I was hardly sleeping so would start getting ready for work 30 min's earlier (than normal) in the morning to allow myself extra time to slowly pry my arm outwards under a hot shower, as gently as I could. Every movement was excrutiating. Pain medication eased but did not cure it. I am lucky to have found a Physiotherapist who understands the condition. Just over 1 year on and I am much better now. I'm still cautious but exercises the Physio gave me as homework have also helped. I hope you find relief fast. Good luck.
