Smurfy Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Hi, anybody got advice for Frozen shoulder. Normal pain killers and anti inflamatory meds dont work. Its affecting my wifes ride. Looks like a trip to the Doc is next. Thanks in advance for your replies.
_bob_ Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I had that a couple years ago. So bad that just lifting my hand off the desk hurt like hell. Pain meds didn't help me either. Spent 6 months going to a physio twice a week to get it resolved. I can still feel a bit of stiffness from time to time, though. Smurfy 1
Rapunzel Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Shoulders are tricky but I'd opt for a good physio sooner rather than later (the kind that gives you a good "ruk and pluk" along with rehab exercises). I had a dislocated shoulder a few years back and the physio said that the sooner you treat a shoulder injury, the greater the chances of a full recovery. Smurfy 1
quickdraw Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) Had shoulder issues a while back. Started off with not being able to move the arm when I would wake up, then ended up lasting for 2 days. Eventually turned out to be a calcium build up in the joint. One surgeon wanted to go in and grind it out, went to Shoulder institute in Stellenbosch - they said it was breaking down already and they just flushed it with some saline solution. Hasn't been back again. Apparently it is quite common in women. Edited August 22, 2014 by quickdraw Smurfy 1
