recovery time after frozen shoulder manipulation

Unfortunately the night pain takes about 4 months to go away even after surgery I'm a month in and the night pain is still there. Without surgery my night pain took 4 months to go but everyone is different. Good luck no quick fix for this unfortunately

I did mua and found that even though it took 3 months til I could sleep on my stomach instead of my back, the pain at night was not as bad as before. Before mua u would wake up and use heat/ice or both almost nightly. After I rarely needed to do that. Of course I was also taking Percocet after the mua so that helped

Before mua I used ice and or heat in the middle of the night almost every night. They sell this heat pack that you boil up and it gets soft. You can leave it near your bed and push button to activate heat when you want it. I also listened to relaxation music to help me go back to bed

Laura, I have has frozen shoulder 31/2 month ! I stopped doing pt and just have rested it for the last couple weeks the pain is so much better! I am scheduled for mua in nov but now that the pain is better I might just wait it out! It kinda happens quickly the pain just got better! Just kinda let go of feeling you have to fix it right now. It will get better try taking something for sleep like a musle relaxer?

be careful with muscle relaxers. I know its weird but when i took them after mua for muscle spasms (which they helped) i took one at bedtime and  they did not help me sleep but made me so tired next day I could barely function and had to stop.

I know. I find myself really affected by just a higher dose of ibuprofen. Try to sleep with very little drugs.

The main thing I want to know is what techniques worked for people(stretching, PT, acupuncture etc) and has any one completely healed their shoulder WITHOUT surgery or MUA? I understand it is two year process but prefer to be proactive and not have procedures.

There are a lot of people who have healed without procedures but yes it takes 2 to 3 years, I unfortunately have a physical job in animal welfare and couldn't afford to have the time off work

I did mua and and don't feel like I have to apologize or make excuses for why I did it. I was in terrible pain and my doc had a solution so even if in the end it will take the same time to regain full range of motion it was still worth it cause mua relived worse of the pain and gave me alot of rom back so I could live my life.

I do t think anyone should feel like they did so tuning wrong if fine just let it run its course

That says dobro e did not do anything wrong

I have a very physical job too, it is definitely a pain although it has gotten better. It seems like everyone has gone the MUA route since I have not heard from anyone that let it ride for 2 years. 

I'm sorry I'm not sure why you're upset with me! Anything anyone can do to get better and over this horrible injury all the better I'm sorry but I think you may have misunderstood something I said

Sorry you misunderstood me I was feeling like others were judging those of us who chose to do treatments and not wait it out

I thought you meant you did treatment since you had to work. So anyway sorry didn't meant tic star any stress

No problem I was lucky, oh well not lucky in the injury sense but it happened at work so work cover paid for mine and so glad I did have surgery because my ROM is so much better and I had MUA, if I didn't Di it at work I think I would have lost my job because I was off for 5 maths all up

Mua was best thing I did
