Full ROM?
Posted , 5 users are following.
After fully recovering from frozen shoulder, has anyone gained full ROM?
I had surgery to release with manipulation in March of this year, but only have about 120 degress of ROM.
Wondering if that might be as good as it gets.
I still go to PT three times a week.

Hi
had my 1st fs 4 years ago (right dominate) Had decompression and manipulation then went on to have further manipulation 6weeks later........I continued with physio and did the home exercises obsessively and I regained full movement! It took a long time but I pushed myself and did the exercises whenever I could
Two years later my left non dominate froze
Again I opted for surgery and again needed a second manipulation .............that was exactly 2years ago - and I now have 100% full movement in both shoulders
the 2nd fs took much longer to reagin full movement but I think that was because its non dominate and therefore my movements were less repetitive if you get what I mean?!!!! They both ache like mad now and again - worse during cold damp weather and I hate the freezer aisle in the supermarket!!! This is such a vile little understood condition that makes you titter on the edge of doing something drastic with your life - I had many many dark dark moments when I could't see any light at the end of that very dark long tunnel BUT hay!!! I made it through and beat it!!!!! Both fs came out of the blue I am not a diabetic or have any thyroid issues, I was 56 when my first fs started and 58 with the 2nd. So please stay positive and you WILL recover push yourself with physio and continue with the excercises it is sooo very worth it
Sending gentle hugs x

yes, my first (dominant arm) was 5 years ago, and I would say it has full ROM. Only treatment was a cortisone injection and alot of waiting it out. Took well over 2 years. Certain activities are still mildly uncomfortable and it aches sometimes, but that could just be because I'm in my 40s now!

I had mua 9 days ago and have a lot more rom to point that i can raise my arm above my head out front with probably only 20 degrees off full vertical, to the side is ok but not stops at horizontal and behind my back is ok but if I were female I couldnt do a bra. Anyhow I have to do physio exercises every 2-3 hours to maintain this and that involves stretching joint out passively beyond where it starts to painful to point where itis fully stopped. I am happy for the rom but pain is still bad.
