I've dealt with this for so long I don't remember when it began but as it progressed, I started researching. I've always opted for non-traditional care as it's worked for me. I've found an incredibly quick release of the debilitating state I was in when I found the Niels Asher Technique. There are only 2 chiropractors who use this technique where I live. One I was less than impressed with over the phone - I wasn't convinced he had much experience. I chose the other chiro - 2 1/2 hour drive from my home. Within 3 round trips, my range of motion improved dramatically. I still have the ROM, but the pain has changed, or moved - I hate to have an MRI done, but with all the bizarre cancers in my family, very uncharacteristically, have scheduled an MRI. My question to post to the group here is whether or not the sharp pain the arm changes position? For months on end, the pain was in the same place, mid point on the upper arm, outer side. Now this pain is just above my bicep and very painful. Because I had such good results, I worry about the possibility of a tumor in the shoulder girdle, which mimcs exactly the symptoms of frozen shoulder. Has anybody else felt the need to have an MRI done to be certain there is not another condition? Feeling rather concerned lately.

    Hello – I feel for you all. My F-left-S began in September; in November a physio misdiagnosed it as a labral tear, so for the next 3 months I barely moved it, thinking that the excruciating shooting and stabbing pains were damaging. I was in agony, with chronic dull aches by day and not working out how to sleep without waking up every few hours, taking Nurofen at 3am, how to position my arm and body etc. Once I had the MRI results and was told it was FS I felt immediately relieved, as if part of my brain unclenched and realised that I should move my shoulder more to strengthen it. Am avoiding going down the injection route and instead trying occasional light yoga without using my arms(!), occasional massage, and now the NA technique. My first session has left my arm feeling bruised, and it was painful when the physio pushed into the trigger points but I have faith so far in the ideas behind it, and I feel positive about wanting to heal the shoulder rather than resenting it for provoking such surprising, terrible feelings and the ancillary twistedness and pain in the rest of my body. I continue to cycle, which probabably puts more pressure on it, and might try to swim gently. Am interested in the corollation between menopause and hormones and FS – not to diminish what any men are going through patient.info/forums/discuss/menopausal-frozen-shoulder-36995 Heartfelt sympathy and commiseration to you all – it hits you like a bolt out of the blue, and what a thing to contend with and try to describe to other people. 'Frozen shoulder?' someone scoffed today. 'That sounds almost comical.' Right.
