:'( HI I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY DOCTOR THAT I HAVE A FROZEN SHOULDER, AND I AM WAITING FOR PHYSIO - THERAPY. I TAKE PAIN MEDICINE, BUT THE PAIN IS SO INTENSE, I AM GETTING ONLY AN HOUR OR TWO SLEEP A NIGHT! I AM CRYING AND SCREAMING WITH THE PAIN! I DID GO TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT BECAUSE THE SHOULDER PAIN WAS NOT XAUSED BY ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT, THE NURSE/DOCTOR WOULD NOT EXAMINE ME!
:-) CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO EASE THE PAIN, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT WHEN I AM IN BED. I REST MY LEFT ARM ON A FOLDED PILLOW FOR MY LEFT SHOULDER, I AM SO UNCOMFORTABLE! A LOT OF THE TIME THE PAIN IS LIKE A HOT POKER GOING DOWN IN TO MY ELBOW, OR LIKE A BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINE GETTING TIGHTER, AND TIGHTER, SQUEEZING MY SHOULDER AND ARM. PLUS I GET PINS AND KNEEDLES IN MY FINGERS AND PAIN IN MY WRIST TOO!
o.O I DO HAVE TENDANITUS DUE TO DIABETES, SO I DO TEND TO DROP THINGS WITHOUT WARNING, BUT THIS 'FROZEN' SHOULDER IS MAKING MY LIFE UNBEARABLE. MY DOCTOR IS TRYING TO RUSH MY PHYSIO THROUGH! PLEASE HELP.
hi, i have read your artical and i really do feel for you. i started off with a painful upper arm in a small area and now the area has spread, its very sevear pain and have to be careful not to use it much, my GP has told me that it is a frozen shoulder, i told her the pain is in my arm..... just recently the pain is going into my shoulder, i was given an injection but it has not given me any relief yet and im going back next week and maybe have another injection. my concern is i hope she has made the right diagnosis as most of my pain is in my arm.
