Post operative frozen shoulder
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have recently been diagnosed a frozen shoulder after having arthroscopic decrompession and acromium shaved.
I am now at week 9 post op and have been unable to drive normally due to a poor range of motion and discomfort. I drive extremely small distances..1-1.5 miles.
I have had one steroid injection but he did state it may take 2-3 until I feel the effect.
I have to rely on family to help me dress and undress at times and do help with hair and to run errands.
I am just wondering what the next stage for treatment is...I just stick with my exercises that I have been given and pray for improvement.
This forum is very informative,a little frozen shoulder community. Thank you

I live a very basic right at the moment...I am unable to work full time as I can't drive, work have been wonderful as they allow me to do a few hours a week from home.
I think driving aggravates it.
I don't know if he would suggest a mua as I have only had an op on that shoulder recently.
Thank goodness for online grocery shopping!

First op on left shoulder was May 2015, second op on left was Oct 2015, pain started in right shoulder around November 2015 so really quickly, one shoulder straight to the other :-( hopefully you wont get it fingers crossed...

A recent MRI has shown the obvious frozen shoulder and has shown subacromial bursitis??? But I have only just had an op a few months back for this?! So confused now.

Forget what you see on exrays or MRIs, it's a proper examination that gets the
diagnosis and results. Looking on the web at recommended FS exercises, most mobilize the shoulder blade which has a full range anyway.. Tell your therapist you want the joint to glide and roll, not to be exercised like a lever.
