Frozen Shoulder Second Time Around

Posted , 39 users are following.

Hello everyone. I am so thankful to have found this forum. I am suffering from frozen shoulder for the second time. The first time it occurred in my left shoulder, which is my non-dominant side. Now two years later, I have it in the right shoulder which is my dominant side. My orthopedic doctor has said that it is very rare to experience frozen shoulder two times. When I went to him with the right shoulder, he did not think it could be frozen shoulder again. I am now one week away from my follow-up visit with him, and I have no doubt that it is indeed frozen shoulder again. I am so frustrated with This painful disorder and I would love to hear from any of you who have had to deal with this more than once. It is so helpful to have the thoughts and opinions from others who have been through the same painful condition.

My first occurrence started just before I turn 50. Now the second occurrence happens just after I turned 52. I'm wondering if most of you are male or female and at what age did you start experiencing these problems. I have had no previous injuries nor am I a diabetic . I cannot understand why this condition is recovering again when I have no predisposition towards it that I am aware of.

      Hi Gena

      .

      you really are unlucky. and yup so so so unfair. what have you done to deserve that,

      .

      i herd this from me orthopaedic surgeon on the final operation in oct, me final surgery yay.

      .

      i had one surgery to mend the frozen joint and two follow ups to mend the damage.

      .

      in October just gone had the A/C joint resected and reinforced. was suppose to be a painful one.

      .

      even though i was 4 years frozen and kinda mended. the surgeon wanted full motion post op within 2 weeks. even through the pain. cutting bone is painful i was told.

      .

      HE WARNED ME. if i did not get my r.o.m back on track it would freeze up again. i laughed as a joke. na he was serious.

      .

      yes it can come back. you are so unlucky. feel every ache with you. both times.

      .
