Frozen shoulder a year on and don't know what to do.....
Posted , 12 users are following.
feeling a bit deflated today, living in the UK ..... It's cold and damp and my shoulder is starting to play up again.
i injured it a year ag, beginning of the year I developed a frozen shoulder with a range of movement down to 20% I was in agony, decided to go privately as NHS was too long await and I couldn't work. Saw a consultant and in May I had a hydrolition injection, fantastic!!! It gave me so much more movement and took away the excruciating pain still haven't had a decent sleep in a year but things did improve. Have kept NHS in the loop and saw consultant in July, he recommended I had surgery, but things carried on improving and had lots more movement still occasionally ached and still can't sleep on that side, anyway I decided to cancel op for fear of getting a frozen shoulder after surgery. ......Now to date !!! Hence I'm writing this, I've been in so much pain today, a deep almost bone aching toothache pain aaaarghh!!!! All day! Seeing consultant next week, so should it be operation or another hydrolition injection????? That's my question to you lovely people, I don't know what to do, I just don't want to go back to that hellish pain again but am I heading that way anyway?? ....... Advice answers anything I'd really appreciate xxxxx thank you xxx

Everyone seems to be giving you mixed advice here before you agree to surgery or another joint injection, can I make a very simple suggestion and this has helped me tremendously with my pain, range of movement and now I can sleep peacefully once again - My suggestion is to eat hot chilli peppers and ginger - Both chilli peppers and fresh ginger are known for removing inflammation in joints. I have been eatting both jalapenos and red chilli peppers for 5 days now and I highly recommend this and also if you can drink smoothies with a thumb sized piece of ginger blended up this will help your body to heal. If you can cut down caffeine, and milk products for a bit this will also help the inflammation build up. You will feel a big difference....These simple things have helped me more than the injection in my joint my oesteopath have stated that surgery will not help me but every person is different. Be wishes with your healing - Get the chilli peppers and ginger!

Having found this forum, I've also found it invaluable - i't good to hear the sufferer's point of view and real-life experiences and was a surprise to me, as to how many people are affected.
