Frozen Shoulder...Round 3!! No injury...Not diabetic
Posted , 8 users are following.
I have seen several people who have posted that they have had this in both shoulders. I have had it in both and now on the second time for my right shoulder. This time is much more painful than the first two. I have done my best to wait it out and I just cant take it any long and am considering surgery this time. The three cortisone shots have done nothing for me.
My doctors have said this is an unusual case. They have never mentioned hormone levels. They have been checked twice this year and come back fine. Do I need to ask for a specific test or should I try hormones first to see if they work before I try surgery?
I am a person that just tends to do what the doctor recommends but I don't want surgery if I have another possible option.
Thank you

No injury here either, and not diabetic - but I am in the middle of perimenopause so my hormone levels are fluctuating a lot, and I do have a proclivity toward autoimmune disease. For example right now I am fighting a month-long rash that won't go away. So I am wondering if my FS is also some kind of manifestation of an autoimmune flare...?

I guess if I have learned anything from this it might be that the scar tissue that is left after the frozen shoulder may be the issue. I would not wait to have it looked at. I waited almost 5 months trying to work on it myself before I went in. My GP did not want to do the MRI so I asked for a referral to an Ortho and he did the MRI first thing. He saw the scar tissue right away. I went in every 4 weeks so he could see if I progressed at all. He gave me two months to see how I would do on my own because I wanted so badly to get better on my own. When I left his office last week he told me he could see I was almost at the point to make the decision on my own to have it done. That is what he is waiting for.
If this becomes a problem dont wait and suffer! Please go in and have it looked at. Get an MRI it must be done for them to see what is there.
