Frozen Shoulder

[duranman]

Had it bad 4 years ago then moved to other shoulder. I recovered but it seems back again. There's speculation over causes but I wondered if you guys have also experienced this literal agony? By running a tennis ball between the affected area and a wall seems to help a bit..

I once inflamed a nerve in my shoulder during training.

Hurt like hell for a couple of weeks.

Whiskey helped.

If you suffered pal you'd show less irreverence..

Can you see it from there? I need a longer jacket.

You should see a doctor.

Possible causes include overuse, too much strain on the affected area or being a racist cunt.


Which one of the above do you think describes your situation best?

Yeah the racist cunt is apparently the biggest cause: Jerking off to beautiful blondes not good...

Fata would be proud

One treatment I've found useful is provided by our local physiotherapy practice.

I wear an ice pack on the frozen shoulder which is connected to an electric pump which cycles to squeeze the ice around my shoulder, then releases, squeezes again...

A few half-hour sessions, once a day for a week, gives relief for months. Even after the first session the pain was reduced.

If you are really serious about doing something about a painful condition...

Because there are a lot of 'answers' and even going to doctors - depending on the doctor - may just get you a round of cortisone, which isn't going to fix the underlying cause(s).

Firstly, you should, and I mean really should, find a good trigger point massage therapist - this person will be able to find if the basic source of pain is muscular. If a muscle issue is the cause, after half an hour the TP massage is going to dramatically relieve pain and limited range of motion (up to a point, although the pain will go right away).

If it is ligament and connection stuff, then glucosamine and spirulina is the ONLY treatment that works but it is not totally cheap and it takes at least two months. And in the meantime you will feel absolutely no improvement, but after the initial phase there will be long-lasting improvement.

Drinking water is also a factor combined with possible particulate matter air pollution (metals) - certain microscopic salts and minerals and metals build up in the body and interfere with the normal calcium channel action in muscles, causing them to hold onto a dull, throbbing ache that is persistent. Usually in the back, lower back and/or shoulder blades.

Slow, muscle stretching virtually every day is valuable for everyone but more so the older you get.

If you start to drink purified water and find some improvement then the ordinary tap water might be implicated.

There are very very few situations that call for surgery - maybe, quite literally, a seriously broken bone or a fracture that happened recently, and that's about it in spite of what you might hear. No 'vague' reasons for surgery that any doctor might give you are good enough. Surgery is a bizarre option. Cortisone is a stupid one. Aspirin and panadol are okay.

Personally, I don't think there is technically any such thing as 'a pinched nerve.' But there are inflamations of nerves within bunches of muscle tissue - all solvable by the first solutions I mentioned above.

Warmth to the area can provide some temporary relief, and cold can increase oxygen in the blood flowing to the area in question. Too much cold (localized application) is not good and can kill tissue.

And thank YOU my noble Lord. 'By the sea'....I'm guessing Worthing, Goring by Sea?...
