Frozen Shoulder - MUA - outcomes / recovery / pain

I had MUA and had scar tissue removed. I had lot of pain and sore around where they did the procedure. I wish you luck

I had this done in January and am still in a lot of pain.  I  am finishing up with my physical therapy which I have been doing 3 times  a week.  I think it just takes awhile to heal.

Tiffany or Debbie - Did either of you have an injury that preceeded the frozen shoulder? 

Please keep me posted on your progress as the MUA is something that I am just considering - have the surg booked but can delay if I decide to.  Thanks!!

This is an interesting post and one I shall follow. I have an ortho appt 11th April as my FS has decided to play up again. The pain has increased, although not as bad as it once was. I have had so many different opinio s I am confused about the diagnosis ...so have decided to seek an expert's opinion in Sydney. My Dr wrote me the referral yesterday and he thinks I may end up with an arthroscopy and a 'clean up.' Reading your posts I am nervous about what he will do and whether or not this will set me back even further. I have had this since last June and it has gradually frozen leaving me with limited movement out to the side (very limited) and although I can wash my hair with my frozen arm, my entire shoulder lifts (the shrug). So, with this in mind, and not being prepared to put up with it for another 2 or 3 years (possibly) I am seeking some advice from the surgeon...?

Hi Laura,  I had capsular release on my left shoulder in May last year, pain wasn;t too bad to be honest, if its what i had done then the first couple of days were the hardest, the first because you are in a sling and your arm is totally numb, the second becasue you are abit scared to move it but to be honest the pain was less then the normal pain, i have three every small scars which healed quickly, the MUA was done three months later as my left was still frozen, MUA was great and i moved my shoulder into positions i couldn't straight away, it did go bad again for a couple of weeks where i had to work hard at physio but now i am pretty much back to normal, going through the whole lot again now with my right shoulder, so just waiting to see what the surgeon wants to do.... don't woryy about surgery, for me it was the best thing i did, i have three kids and managed and drove after about a week .... good luck x

Hi everyone, I'm so pleased I've found this site,

I had decompression surgery on my shoulder two months ago which left me with very bad inflammation which lead to a frozen shoulder! I'm having MUA in two weeks time, I've been suffering so much I can't wait to get it done! Am I crazy??

Hi Laura, it's been a few months now did you have surgery

I'm 5 days post surgery and seriously I only had pain at 1am in the morning 16 hrs after surgery and then nothing the pain was not as bad as mine had been with FS. My surgeon said to have physio the next day but I couldn't get in for a week so the day I got home I researched FS post op exercise and started exercises straight away. I thought I'd have pain and stiffness for a while but basically nothing compared to what I'd been through before surgery i feel great and I'm looking forward to getting back to work so do as much exercise and stretching that you can because I'm seeing results
