Running with FS

Hi
Are there any runners with FS? I’ve recently started running on a treadmill and within two weeks I’m experiencing shooting pains and burning in my FS arm.
Thanks Rachel

Hi Rachel,
That must be painful, how long have you had FS?
I am not athlete, runner or any sort, but I am fairly active and exercise regularly.... it's been 1.5 years since my initial symptoms..I am close to 95 percent recovered, but some movements , and sleeping gestures are still painful...
Even after long hiking cause that arm joint to close up and painful when I try to raise arm real high. So I am fairly certain FS is not only affecting arm joint, also has something to do with spine and neck..
I try to hang my arms on bar, we don't have gym bar at home, so I try to stretch my arms on closet cloth hanging rack, ever time my arm feels tight. And that's pretty a few days a day, and it really helps to relief tightness...
I apologized for go on and on, but to answer your question, yes, I experience shooting sharp pain on many occasions during my recovery.. hope this helps

I think maintaining a routine that keeps our legs strong is a very good idea through the duration of this seemingly never-ending ordeal, but like the rest of you guys, running is simply out of the question.
I have two frozen shoulders and that amount of arm swinging will only lead to days worth of nagging pain and mental misery. It makes me even more of a shut-in than this disease is already trying to turn me into.
I walk regularly. I've been going to beach regularly too, and swimming in the ocean, if only to kick my legs about. I was nervous about swimming without the use of either shoulder, but I can do it, even on red flag days. Getting a mega shot of vitamin D from the sun on a regular basis can't really hurt either.
I'm not waiting around for this stupid disease to clear before living my life again, and the rest of you guys shouldn't either, but I'm not going to do things I know will only make me more miserable at night, and that, unfortunately, is running. I love running, and it's a shame I can't do it right now, but there are other ways to break a sweat and keep the legs moving, and we should definitely be doing them.
Your shoulders will tell you pretty quickly if the activity you're doing is a bad idea. Just listen to what they're saying and back off.
Here's hoping this miserable chapter of my life ends sooner rather than later. June was the two year mark for my left frozen shoulder. I'm 7.5 months into my right frozen shoulder. One day at a time until it's over.

I'm a runner and had FS in both shoulders. After getting hydrodilation done on the second shoulder I can run again. I couldn't at the peak of the painful stage. I'm 5 years in with the first shoulder and mostly recovered, but I actually find I have to keep running to keep it loose. Otherwise it stiffens up a bit and hurts.
