Frozen Shoulder - Chronic Sinus Infection Concurrently

I developed what my doctor is now calling a "chronic" Sinus infection. The sinus issue started a few months into the FS and can't get rid of the darn sinus infection. Anyone else experience similar?

I have had my FS for about a year and a half and the sinus infection for about nine months. Have been on antibitoics, saline, zinc. Lost a bit of taste and smell too.

I did have about 4-5 cortizone shots over a year span, which is not good for high blood sugar in Diabetes, but was trying to dull the FS pain. Wanted to post to see if anyone has had similar?

    Sounds like 2 completely separate issue. I suggest taking a hot shower and put some Vicks just a tad by nose(just a dab by opening, not inside). While steam builds up in the shower start taking deep inhalations of the warm steam. Do this while the warm water hits your bad shoulder. Should improve your sinus while making your shoulder feel better.

      Hi jen

      Hopefully the steam inhalations is helping your sinus. Your right the cortisone as well as antibiotics might have affected your immune system. Try to get an extra boost of vitamin c as well as extra servings of dark leafy greens. Take care.
