Has anyone ever had keyhole surgery for a frozen shoulder? If so did it work and how long did it take for you to get back to work etc?

    No but avoid surgery at all cost

      Can I ask why you feel so strongly about surgery? Have you heard bad reports regarding this type of surgery?

      Hi

      I am in my 9th month of frozen shoulder and  I tried first 6 months pain was horrible at 1st stage doctor diagnosis its a FS then second step they give you pain killers they don't have medicine to cure other then pain killers medicine which comes with horrible side effects including ulcer and  heart condition  then they recommend surgery  or MUA(manipulation under Anstesia)  surgery has different names keyhole and some other name after the aurgery comes pain killers and physio therapy then you get movement in arm between 3 to 6 months but never normal the way it was this is my own research and my own opinion please do your own search okay doctor do not have answer to the why FS happened so when you don't know why it happened you cannot treat the condition make sense my search it happens on its own and it takes it own course which are in three stages  stage one development of FS stage to frozen but no pain stage three returns to normal on its own the time frame is different for every body if ones diabetes the time frame is more the time frame in my research is between 9 months to 4 years depending on persons age and body health condition  because of the severity of pain and imobilty in life and effects on life style and losing of job or ecnomical hardship people goes toward surgery options and spend lots of $$$$$ to fix the problem and shortened the time span as for me i had first three months had horrible pain  i did try the acupuncture also but it works for some it does not work for some I did tried acupuncture but didn't work for me i boght the door polley and did exercise with it and massage 1hour at night with mix of olive oil black seed oil and mustard oil mix warm  for 2 months it helped me and movement is 65% and still i am working on it hope i will get over it please do comment on my view if i made any sense and i am sharring my personal opinion and research to you i am diabetes also and  yes the pain is horrible and effects quality of life to maximum thanks so used oil massage outside herbal remidie and polley door exercise

      Thank you for getting back to me. It all started 2 year ago. I had niggles in my shoulder, thought it would go away, eventually went to doc who referred me to physio and hospital. Diagnosed shoulder impingement. Had cortisone injection which didn't work. Unfortunately I had a fall last July. Still attending physio at this point. It soon turned to a frozen shoulder. Went on to have 2 cortisone injections again which really helped but my movement and pain are still not 100%. Had the shoulder specialist yesterday who said the next thing would be surgery. I really don't know wither to just hope that one day it will go back to 100% or just life with it or try the surgery.

      I've had x2 frozen shoulders first one in my dominate right shoulder - nothing helped sad eventually had MUA and had to have further surgery because first attempt didn't work sad Recovery was slow but I continued with physio and home excersises and within 8 months I had 100% movement back!!! Yay!!! then 1 year later my other shoulder started sad again went for surgery and again had to have it repeated sad but I'm now almost 1 year post op and have 99.9% movement back smile its not an easy fix but I'm so glad I underwent the surgery!!!! So I would most DEFINATELY go for it!!! Get your life back now!!!!! Good luck with whatever route you take - its a vile condition which is so not understood..............unless you are/have gone through frozen shoulder no one understands what you are going through! Gentle hugs..........

      I think you shouldn't take any advice here, my best advice do a lot of research, this condition is complicated, nobody has the right answer. 

      Some people had very positive experience with or without surgeries.

      Go to trigenics website is really good info there and also here in this forum.

      All the best to you!!!
