Not sure what to do

Hi thanks for your reply how did you find the manipulation was it as bad as maybe I'm thinking does it put you back in awful pain again for a while.

it wasnt that bad , i had pain for a day or two and then went for physio for a few weeks , now its 95% better , trouble is i now have it in my other shoulder :-(

Hi Jim....how are you doing? How are you going with your meds and staying on top of your pain? I sure hope you have had some relief by now 😊❌❌

hi kerri not been much success against the pain , ive  seemed to have developed a constant dull ache , im sure a few on here ge the same thing , its really annoying as well , almost like i been punched hard on my upper arm . i think another visit to the docs is likely :-(

Oh damn....I was hoping for positive news, you poor love. Yep back to the docs 😩

Hi Jim yes i get the same annoying ache but onky when ive done too much or not supportef my arm, or sat in wrong position. But at times it jyst feels no position is comfortable! X. Let us know what doc says. X

hi Debbie im not sure why my arm aches , maybe its something to do with the exercises the physio gave me to do , i do them on and off all day , been a waste of time so far because it hasent worked :-(

Ive been doing exercises my physio gave me too....useless too! But if they say they work then who am i to disagree!! Lol. hurt myself pretty bad last night, no idea what i did apart from my husband waz making me laugh and my arm sort of fell backwards and omg pain was unbearable. It must have had a spasm or something, i felt it drop forward again, like it did a few weeks ago (but i passed out with the pain), but i was able to keep myself from collapsing. Then with the aid of heat pad it subsiided..x

ouch , most in this forum know exactly what you mean , i jolt my arm at least once a day , no matter how careful i am , it just happens , yesterday my nephew who is 3 tripped up , so i automatically went to catch him but over reached , i could of cried it hurt that much .

Ouch yes Jim over reaching which is normal for most people is actually an horremdous moment for us fs people.

Finally got my date through for manipulation , 11 May i've decided to go ahead with the procedure even though still very worried about the procedure I have a job that is physical which involves me having to lift my arms up all the time does anyone know how long I am likely to have to have off work after the manipulation as you don't really get told anything it's only what you read .

Stacy. Whereabouts r u? Dont they off er u the hydro? They donr do mua here anymore as hydrdilitation hss a higher success rate...without knocking u out. Ask if u can go to another hospital. I saw specialust on thurs and will have procedure in 3 weeks. Xxxx

Hi Debbie I'm in Reading I haven't been told much about anything really now I'm really confused about what to do Xx

Hi Stacey, I'm having further MUA on the 20th April - this will be the second time  The first time my consultant said he would manipulate gently & if he feels to much resistence he would perform arthroscopy & proceed which he did - he shaved some of the bone & cartilage & also removed the scar tissue that had bulit up inside my shoulder to give me more room to move my shoulder about............ But its difficult to push hard with excercises they give you afterwards because of the raw nerve endings after the shaving - I refroze which app is very common  Soooo I'm going through the manipulation again which he says should sort me out! He did say inside my shoulder was very bad with lots of scar tissue - very sticky  He told me roughly it would be abt 6weeks off work - I am lucky that I took early retirement so dont go to work any more - I still can't wash my hair/tie it up or drive   Very annoying!!!! Good luck with your surgery - other people who have mua sail through it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you...........FS sucks
