FROZEN SHOULDER RELIEF in one hour !!!yes!!!

I have been suffering from Frozen Shoulder for 8 weeks...I had shoulder surgery and then not long after my surgery( a week or 2) It started. MY phyical Therapist figured it out at week 5 and then doc confirmed it.. So,now on week 3 of total torture visits of excruciating pulling, ripping, you name it. Pain so intense I passed out once and cried through the first few. Now I just go and pray through them. Pain was all day long. Shoulder and muscles..(esp delt and bicep)Hard to sleep, etc.. Just laast week began with radiating nerve pain down whole arm into fingers. This never stopped. So, researching the hell out of it online, just ilke you , I realized that I could do much better with the range of motion torture, etc..if my muscles weren't so DAMN tight. Esp the deltoid, bicep, and teres minor, scapular muscles, traps etc. Soooooo, I decided to try a massage BEFORE my visit to torture(physical therapy appt) today. I went to a medical massage therapist and asked her to work on my frozen shoulder issue and all the muscles around it..She could not get over all the knots and tightness. Said worst she has seen in a long time. She worked on me..it was not your basic feel good massage..it was painful at times but nothing like the torture at the therapists(which I am still continuing). The spots she was hitting was so, well, spot on! And when she was through i had NO pain at all , my shoulder felt warm and loose and good! I was able to raise my arm at least 10 inches higher than before i went in. I figured it would make my torture less painful as my appt was in one hour. And it REALLY did help. therapist said he could really tell i was much looser and he could push me harder.Ouch. After therapy, arm was WORN OUT like never before. BUT it is 5 hours later and The nerve pain is at  least 50% better and there is no pain in my shoulder as i sit here typing this.It is slightly sore, and Im not saying it won't come back, but i am telling you, the massage did wonders!!! I scheduled 4 more visits one per week. the $ was worth every penny. I am telling you, go get a massage and make sure it is someone good who has medical knowledge and ask them to work on the shoulder area, neck area and traps and arm for the whole hour, but i would do it RIGHT before your torture visit. Like the same day and not to far apart. So its still loose when you go. Your muscles are so tight which makes the pain so much worse. THIS IS THE ANSWER! good lluck all!
