Final update (I hope)

I'm so glad for you. Thank you for letting us know. I'm so desperate at the moment.

I am happy to say that a year on I am still pain free, no reoccurence of FS and although my shoulder gets  a bit stiff in the rain or if I over use it, it appears that all is well, hang on in there people x

Ditto! My Physio also said his (hopefully) final farewell to me a couple of weeks ago but he encouraged me to keep up the gentle strengthening exercises - with both arms which I actually enjoy doing. The relief is enormous. Woo-hoo!

Hi All, It's been several months since my last update on this forum. Just to recap: Had frozen shoulder in right shoulder and suffered for many months. Posted to this forum on Dec 3rd. Then had MUA on Dec 4, 2015 and I posted another reply to this forum 1 month after surgery which you canfind below. Now it is April 17, 2016. The good news is I don't have any more pain. The bad news is that I did not continue with my exercises like I should so my shoulder is only about 75% recovered. I don't have full range of motion. It doesn't hurt when I go to try to reach in certain ways - its just that it's stuck - it doesn't go in that range anymore. I'm glad there is no pain but I need to get myself back to doing some exercises to try to get that last 25% of range back so I can go back to playing tennis and paddle boarding - the two things that I love. Anyway, don't give up. If I had to do it all again I would still have gotten the MUA so I do recommend that. My advice is to stick with exercises even if you are feeling better. I'm going to get back to them and hope that I have not done damage by waiting too long after the surgery to work on getting my full range back. Best of luck to you all!!!!

It's October 3rd and I would say I'm 97% healed. I'm back to paddle boarding and tennis and nothing hurts. So people don't give up hope!!! If you read back through this thread you will see a few posts from me. Diagnosed with FS last year, had MUA on Dec 4th, 2015. Couldn't wait til I could shave under my right arm again and sleep on my side. I can now. We went back to Costa Rica in July. I was feeling better but still nervous about surfing. My husband did a great job encouraging me and I did it and it didn't hurt. That was a really big step for me. I broke through the fear. My friend encouraged me to get back on the tennis courts and I did. And guess what? I can do it. It took lots of exercise and letting down my guard to not baby it. I just use it and keep using it. It was still painful but the more you use the more flexible you will get and the pain will get less and less. I wish you all lots of luck! I know my case is sounding like maybe it wasn't as bad as others. I had two bone spurs that had caused inflamation and scaring which then lead to the frozen shoulder. So no tears to heal but still went through the freezing, zingers, sleepless nights, millions of tears, and lots of frustration. Peace & Happy Healing to You All. 

That's FANTASTiC! Congratulations. So glad you are well again. Take care. 

My lack of movement in shoulder was caused by a fractured proximal humerus after a fall 5 months ago. The capsule and scar tissue is causing poor ROM. I have had hours of Physio therapy and yesterday had a mixture of saline and steroid injected by a radiologist under X ray guidance. My arm feels a bit freer but still not great ROM. Am I expecting too much too early? Feeling a bit dispirited.

Thanks for the update. Comforting to hear. Good luck and continued healing. I hope to be able to post similar in the not too distant future
