Frozen shoulder post subcronial decompression surgery. Capsular release
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi,
I injured my shoulder Dec 2014 it is believed I dislocated my shoulder and it went back. I have had pain, neuropathy and instability since. In October 2015 I had subcronial decompression, post this I suffered from adhesive capsule and had surgery 2 months ago. The shoulder is better than it was but still Frozen so my consultant sent me for hydrodillitation which had no effect.
I have seen him today and he said its will Frozen. He wants me to have bloods to see if I'm diabetic or thyroid issue as increases scaring.
He said I could have an operation again bu he's not sure how much relief I will get. It could possibly resolve on its on within 18 months but the physio is struggling with me as says the shoulder is blocked. I can't wen get my arm behind my back.
Argh what to do. Any advice ty

I am sorry you haven't had good relief from your surgery. Personally, I'd go see another consultant and get a second opinion. And get another, and get another, until you get the answer that will suit you best. Don't just settle for one opinion. I hope you get some answers soon.
Regards,
Ellen

I'm fed up of the pain killers and limitation on things I can do. The shoulder was so badly Frozen when he operated I'm convinced he didn't clear all the scar tissue and he needs to do it again.
It feels like I have impingement again too so not sure if surgery will help.
I think he felt quite bad as he's normally more vocal but I guess some of my movement is worse that pre original op which isn't ideal.
I have a hand tendon repair in January too which hasn't healed correctly so I do appear as they call it to be a scarrer.
It's amazing how much a shoulder that is frozen can hurt isn't it. I guess I'll have to blood tests and see as he said that is glucose isn't correct balancing this can aid recovery.
I think I'll have a couple of weeks think ref surgery just annoying to be in the 10% as he said that current treatment hasn't helped X

Second suggestion I got from a PT, which I abbreviated. She told me about "Goji tendon response" (probably misspelling). If take shoulder into pain zone, it reacts by tightening up more to protect. Being only in stage one, i found the overhead pulleys especially bothersome to my shoulder. BUT this is what I came up with. I stretch arm (usually in a doorway against the wall, but whatever you come up with for a stretch that's needed. Start to bring it to where you JUST feel pain, then back off a bit to where you don't. While doing that easy stretch, use your hand. For me, i clasp & unclasp it (make fist, open, make fist, open (stretching fingers)(several times).. MUSCLE MOVEMENT gets the arm to elongate, and you'll find now you can stretch it a little more without pain. Repeat again the clasping hand in new position. Repeat again however many times you want and try it with different stretches. That helps me a lot. God bless best wishes :-)
