Not only LS but also frozen shoulder.

Posted , 3 users are following.

Is there a relation between the two as they have something in common namely the change in tissue through fibrosis.

anyone with the same experience and what did you take or apply to find relief?

    I don't think so.  Concerning the frozen shoulder- I was seen by orthopedic specialist and he said post menopausal women age 50 up develop frozen shoulder and it last about a year or so and then gets better.

    The human body full of surprises.  That's why I appreciate the doctors, they know stuff.😁

    Hi,

    Yes, I've had both. My frozen shoulder didn't follow the 'usual ' pattern according to the specialist. Due to the extreme pain and lack of sleep plus not resolving on it's own, he suggested and performed a manipulation under general anaesthetic which worked a treat. It breaks down the fibrous collagen forcibly and physiotherapy for 6 weeks after helped in getting range of movement back. Didn't cure the LS though........

    I don't know if there's a link but I do have several auto immune conditions so it wouldn't surprise me!
