Frozen Shoulder surgery
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have had the frozen shoulder, 2 cortisone shots, and 3 x week PT since mid August, and the shoulder still is frozen cant move anymore then when I first started.... How long do you wait to have surgery for them to manipulate it? We are going on 5 months with PT 3 x day and 2 shot.. nothing... Please let me know other experience.

I've had a frozen shoulder since April! Had 2 Cortisone injections, which have stopped the spasms! My arm and shoulder is as stiff as a plank! I'm being referred the specialist Physios now and going to have a scan! It's no joke living like this everyday!

You can’t do the MUA until you are done freezing… the only way to know is one day, it will be locked tight, but it won’t hurt during the day unless you smack it or have a jerk reaction to something. Time is different for everyone… it’s been 8 months for me.
After MUA, your PT visits will be in full swing, all day, every day… at home, and through the night… and in a ton more pain (if you can imagine that)… you will not be able to do PT unless you take a very strong pain pill. I have yet to be able to stretch without one.
