Possible that FS felt better never really went away?

Posted , 8 users are following.

In Jan of 2017, I was a couple weeks into a bout with FS in my right shoulder. Type 2 diabetic, totally unmanaged and filled with chronic inflammation from toxic mold exposure. Perfect storm.

Moved from Mold House in Oct of 2016. Started vigorous diet and exercise in late May of 2017 through early Nov 17. Lost 50+ lbs, cut blood sugars in half and shoulder started feeling significantly better in July/August.

From Dec to now, I've been in the middle of major life changes, moving cross country twice, stressed and whatever. I've regained some weight, haven't been watching my diet very carefully. I can definitely feel the aches and pains of inflammation, but just 2 days ago I started feeling the familiar burn and hitch in my ROM of FS. Last night the aches down my arm returned. Today, ROM is massively affected.

I know getting FS in the same shoulder twice is either super rare or impossible, but because the initial bout only lasted 9ish months but "went away", did I just reduce my inflammation enough to put it into "remission" (for lack of a better word) and now that I'm more inflamed, it's back with a vengeance? Or could I possibly get it twice?

There's no misunderstanding what FS pain is, once you've had it...that's for sure. 😥

    I don't have any other health conditions that I'm aware of apart from being beyond the menopause at 58. I first experienced FS about two years ago, and like you it slowly went of it's own accord, or I thought had after about 5 or 6 months altogether, then about the end of March this year I could feel that familiar niggle again which has continued to get progressively worse, and is now far more painful than the first time round. Sometimes it hurts too much to speak never mind swear.
