The worst part of the experience for me was losing my job, and then I lost my house because I was unable to work in my occupation. I was unable to sleep during the time my left shoulder became frozen. I fell into a deep depression and lost interest in life. I went to physiotherapy and they did laser treatments. That was comforting for the pain but did not alleviate the condition entirely. I was able to get most of my mobility back, once I started going to a manual therapist (this is someone who is a physiotherapist with extra training and can manipulate your shoulder joint to free it up). I found this treatment very helpful.

This is probably one of the most painful things I've ever experienced! I got home from work one fall evening and as I walked inside, I started taking off my jacket. Well that didn't feel good at all. My shoulder was a little stiff and I felt some pain as I extended my right arm to remove my jacket. When I got up the next morning, the pain had intensified and it took every bit of my strength to get dressed. By the time I was in the car to drive to the doctor's office, I was practically in tears! As the doctor entered the exam room, he noticed I was still standing and he could tell I wasn't in a very good position. He asked me to raise my arm and my hand barely moved a few inches. He knew it was a frozen shoulder. Then he wanted some x-rays which meant I had to change into a gown.😱 Did I mention that this is just about the worst pain I've ever had! By the time the x-rays were done, I dressed again and talked to the doctor some more, then I finally returned to my car. I got into the car and put the seatbelt on and just sat there sobbing because the pain was so overwhelming. Yes, I drove myself to the doctor! I really don't know how I made it home again. The doctor started me on a medrol dose pack. After a couple of days the pain started to subside a bit. By the time I finished the prescription, the pain was gone and I could move my shoulder again. Thank goodness! Luckily I haven't had another frozen shoulder but I'm well aware of the symptoms. I've had other problems with that shoulder but physical therapy has helped each time. I just hope I never ever ever have to experience anything like that again! I've never been as incapacitated as I was that day! The pain I felt in this brief moment was worse than any other pain I've ever had in my entire life! So if your shoulder starts to stiffen up with some pain, get it checked out quickly! Especially if you think it will be better in the morning and it's not, get help immediately! Some things don't get better without intervention! Even now after all the years, if I start feeling pain in my shoulder, I don't wait until tomorrow! This isn't something you want to experience! Thanks for sharing another great video Docs and thanks to your guest who understands what I've experienced! 😉

Had a frozen shoulder come out of nowhere last year. Very painful--move my arm in the wrong direction at night, and it was a few choice words yelled into a pillow! Difficult to put on a shirt or reach for the seatbelt in the car. After xrays ruled out other diagnoses, I passed on the steroid injections and did a few sessions of PT. Relying mostly on "Dr. Time," the symptoms gradually resolved 100% after 6-12 months--thankfully!

I'm dealing with frozen shoulder now. It began almost a year ago. I was told that hypothyroidism made me more prone to it. Pain and debilitation led me to get a steroid injection into the shoulder. Relief was almost immediate, and range of motion increased, but that has worn off after several months. PT has been somewhat helpful, mostly manipulation of the capsule, and some stretching. I get nerve pain going down the interior of my left arm, in addition to the shoulder pain. Can't wait until this heals, and I'm hopeful that my full ROM will return eventually.

Great video. I developed frozen should on my right shoulder that was finally identified by an ortho doc that had been one of my coworkers for a long time. I was decidedly atypical in the presentation. 36 years old and with a history of mid back trauma. My doc literally stared at me for two hours as I worked a providers meeting and told me to see him. Made me get PT (im stubborn and the pain wasn't slowing me down [in my own mind]) after four months of PT, and yoga I was dramatically better. We argued over cause for years and he decided it was from carrying a 30 lb machine gun (former military) for miles on end. Please keep doing what you do.

I also was diagnosed with frozen shoulder (about 20 years ago). I was sent for physical therapy and given meds to reduce the pain. I did not take the meds but went to all my physical therapy sessions. After weeks of therapy I found the pain greatly diminished. I was told at the time that this problem may likely recur and to continue doing the prescribed exercises at home. I still have the exercise sheet I was given and although I do not do them regularly, I do bring them out with my hand weights when my shoulder gets sore/achy. This works for me and after doing the exercises daily for a few days, I find relief from the pain.

I had frozen shoulder 18 mo ago. I had dealt with the pain and lack of mobility for almost a year my orthopedic doctor sent me to physical therapy where they did heat,e-stem stretching exercises with pulleys, therapist using her weight to pull against it. It took 3mo 2 times a week but completely fixed it. I had 1 shot at the beginning but just working at the stretching solved my issues. Find a knowledgeable PT it was game changing

I was over 50 when I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder. The orthopedist I saw told me that there's not really anything that can be done to fix it, and that I'd just have to wait about a year. When I had strained my back, they sent me in for physical therapy. While at the physical therapist office, I saw some exercises that I wish they'd had me do for my frozen shoulder. In the end, I did slowly recover after about a year.

This video briefly touches on the effects this condition has on one’s life. Daily functioning is 100% altered. I’ve had 4 kids. I’ve had broken bones. I’ve had surgery for a SEVERE case of calcific tendinitis in my other shoulder. I cannot stress enough just how debilitating this condition is! I am a female and have given serious thought to shaving my head bald. This causes unbelievable frustration and depression! Please don’t make light of this condition. If it’s a severe case, it’s soooo debilitating that you’d rather amputate your arm. When you literally CANNOT sleep for more than an hour or two and wake up in tears, something must be done! This is no joke and an absolute nightmare to deal with!!!

I agree. I am on my SECOND frozen shoulder right now (my first was 12 years ago) and I'm in agony. I'm a nurse--I work with a shoulder specialist at the hospital so I have access to great care but there are still no miracles. The jokes they are making are not funny at all, they are insulting. The pain is worse than childbirth, literally, because it goes on for months. (The person who commented they went to the dr the morning after their symptoms started and the pain was gone after a medrol dose pak--you likely didn't have a frozen shoulder.) I have a really high pain tolerance, I am tough, but there's just no relief from this. I had a cortisone injection that did nothing. In the last week mine has gotten much worse and I have become so miserable and kind of useless at work. I am canceling going to a close family friend's wedding this weekend because it will be so painful to get into the dress, it is form fitting and I have no range of motion in my arm anymore. (It's a formal wedding so I can't just go buy another dress.) Plus I can't imagine sitting through a wedding and reception in misery and having people try to hug me. I have lain in my bed crying the last two mornings after sleeping about 3 hours.

I totally agree with you! This affects mental health and quality of life. I've had it for 13 months and pt, injections, anti inflammatory meds, and exercises at home faithfully have done nothing. Drs dismiss the pain and everyday limitations that affect our mental health. Months and months we cant get back. This is not a joke nor should it be put in an informational video as such. Tell me how you'd feel if you couldnt perform surgery or do activities with your loved ones for 13 months then maybe youd understand why this video is offensive.

@@amymann9148 Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking while I was watching it. What if they were unable to do their work properly, or sleep, or hold their granddaughter, like me? It is so depressing. My Dr. is female and I think that helps with her being more compassionate. Not that there aren't male doctors who are (I know some)--but she has seen me at work every week and even said she's seen the life drain from my eyes. I'm usually very bubbly and happy--lately I've been like a zombie with a miserable look on my face. She said, "I know that look--I see that look on most every frozen shoulder patient who comes in my office." I had to go ahead and take FMLA and I'm having surgery in a week and a half. Wish me luck.

I had frozen shoulder on both shoulders a few years ago. It really came on suddenly first on one side and then the next. The only "cure" was trying to exercise the shoulders by rotating them in all different directions. After a couple of months, I noticed a huge improvement. I kept up the exercise treatment on and off for about a year until my shoulders felt almost back to normal. I have my range back, but I can no longer sleep with my arms above my head for extended periods of time. I have learned to sleep on my back a lot to compensate for this.

I have had this happen in both shoulders (thankfully not at the same time). My first time I was 29 and pregnant with my first daughter. I was very healthy, very active so I was surprised. It just hit me suddenly. Literally overnight. The second time was a few years later just after I had given birth to my second daughter. It was absolutely awful and painful. I would go to my gym and swim (or at least hang out) in the therapy pool. That helped a ton. If you have it know that there is help out there. If you don't like one treatment plan that you are given, choose something different. I know it can be really painful but, it will pass. It is going to get better. Hang in there.

Down side of the condition seems to be it can take a long time (well, in my eyes a long time) to get decent relief. Guessing for someone who has it, that time frame feels like forever. It is interesting that shoulder problems can cause some of the worst pain we can feel.

I’ve had fs on both sides -not at the same time. Super painful-exactly as described in the video. They were about a year and a half apart. The first one healed with injections and therapy. Was about to do surgery after an mri on the second one but got annoyed w the surgery clinic in Dallas. I’m so glad I didn’t do the surgery! Yes I was in pain. Yes I learned to dress drive wash etc w one arm. It took a long time but I was able to get full motion on that second shoulder with stretches and massage. After a few months I finally figured out that the tendon under the front of my armpit was the main culprit. It would not release my arm in order for me to raise it. The tendon felt like a tight wire. Maybe things evolve as one heals a fs and that tendon was just a phase of the healing process idk. Massaging and stretching that tendon was key. Other things I did… magnesium baths. Drank more water. Drastically reduced junk food and sugar intake. Ate tons more veggies. Good luck to those who have it. Don’t give up!

I can reach around my back, towards the center of my back and to my opposite shoulder including behind it. Now it is just about being to reach all the way up.

I shattered my upper humerus in 2011. Surgery and PT and it was great for many years. About 8 months ago, I started noticing less ROM and some tenderness in my shoulder. Had my first PT appointment today and the Therapist seemed to think it was a classic case of Frozen Shoulder. I had most of the symptoms and demographics (overweight, diabetic female). After one session of manipulation, seems as though some of the "frozen" is melting! Therapy hurt a little, but he was able to manipulate my shoulder more at the end than at the beginning of the session...only 29 more sessions to go!!

I love this info. Hypothyroidism is my thing…. I had a Thyroid uptake blood test in May I would show you the labs but that would not be right; any way my Dr had me on 25mg of Thyroid (Armour) IGR, now I take 60mg… plus I have all the arthritis problems…I’ve been on those for a week….maybe it will help!!❤❤

Took Levaquin antibiotic on 2 separate occasions and ended up with Frozen Shoulder on both occasions. Lasted 6 months both times. Now listing Levaquin as one of my "allergies".

I have it for the second time in same shoulder. First time was about 5yrs ago. First time was severe and cortisone shot was helpful until it healed. Took about a yr to heal. This time I'm not sure how bad it's gonna get but pray it's nowhere near as severe as last time. First thing I told the specialist 5yrs ago was, just cut it off.

Right there with you. It seems to be coming back in both shoulders at same time now. 5.5 years down. The left shoulder is still not healed from the first time. it feels deadly in its effects. Pure evil tortorous pain. I cried today as I face this coming on like a freight train. Can barely type already.

I had a frozen shoulder. Ended up getting a steroid shot which remedied the situation - what a relief. 🌿Before the diagnosis, I looked up videos on KZfaq on how to take a shower and dress myself with a rotator cuff injury, since that's what I thought it was. The videos helped me to stay independent.

Same here, same basic treatment on both shoulders (different times) and it took some time to heal! My last treatment was on my right shoulder (2020) still recovering (from both treatments)

Thank you for this video. After testing my hormones at the age of 47 , results came back very low estrogen. 1 months later frozen shoulder started up , still dealing with the agonising pain 3 months down the line. X-ray showed nothing wrong with shoulder, had cortisone injections in shoulder still experiencing pain, earliest appt to see orthopaedic surgeon is in April hoping to get some sort of relief. Question: Could this be more prevalent in Females due to extremely low estrogen levels ( post menopause)?

About a month ago I woke up with a painful right shoulder. I couldn't reach behind my back or reach over to my left side. A couple of nights ago I reacted to a feeling on my left side and slapped at it with my right hand. 😳 that was a big yeouch! So I am now using my resistance bands to slowly and carefully rehabilitate it. As my arms gets more strength, it feels a little better. Still sleeping is troublesome at times. Hoping it resolves asap. This sucks on ice.

Dealt with frozen shoulder for about 12 months. Worst pain I’ve ever had. No sleep. PT no help. Manipulation under anesthesia after 12 months. Here I am 1 year later. No more pain at all. Still some restrictions but minimal. Shoulder functioning 97%.

Had it. Can’t articulate how painful it was. Thank GOD the cortisone shot fixed it. There was a chance the injection would not work. It worked immediately. I live in fear I’ll get frozen shoulder again. Ef’ing terrible!! 🍁 it’s nice to hear fewer than 5% recurring

Curious about how many visits most insurance will cover at the physio therapy ,?I'm in the USA , California and if we can't get fixed with in a few werks we ard usually out of a job, lose the house and so on. I'm pretty sure in most of Canada the treatment is more available in a variety of situations. Thank you Docs😊

I got a frozen shoulder right after my surgery for labrum tear repair that was caused due to racket sports. It’s been 9 months and I don’t have any movement back. I find it hard to believe I will be fine even after 1 year. Then I also got the worst tennis elbow pain as well. The mental pain and agony is indescribable and I feel that only the person going through this can actually understand how mentally draining it is. I wish I didn’t get that surgery. I am 32 years old and I got this. :(((

1980 I fell forward while ice skating. I put both arms out in front to break my fall. Alittle pain and after a few weeks that went away. I was diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis in my right arm in 2000 (20 years later) and the left arm 2002. I was unable to raise the arm more than shoulder high. I got the manipulation procedure while under sedation and then several weeks of physical therapy. It has now been over 23 years and no reoccurrence.

I was washing out the shower reaching up scrubbing then bending down scrubbing the floor. Later that day I couldn’t move my arm, put on underwear or do anything with that arm. Went to physiotherapist who couldn’t budge it. She sent me to surgeon hundreds of kms away. I didn’t want to see surgeon so got a second opinion from another physiotherapist who used a TENS machine, massaged everywhere around the joint including the armpit, & gradually gave me exercises to do. It took months but eventually loosened it. I keep up with the exercises not overdoing it. It pays to get a second opinion sometimes. I have Osteoarthritis & got a hip replacement. Physiotherapy alone doesn’t fix everything sometimes.

I had a frozen shoulder about 15 years ago. It seemed to happen because I had a very bad habit of sleeping with my arm under my pillow, so weight of my fat head on my shoulder/upper arm most of the night. I worried that the pain and limited movement might be permanent so went to a physiotherapist. She's a sports industry specialist. A couple of months later after a combination of heat treatment, electrical stimulation, and massage/stretching, I was back to normal. No trouble since probably because I'm now more aware. An old friend admitted that he couldn't lift his arm over his head, could no longer play tennis. I told him about my physiotherapy, etc. He just shrugged and remained resigned to his fate. I don't know if his problem sorted itself out. Approaching old age can make some people fatalistic, some people determined not to lie down and die.

I just got diagnosed with Frozen shoulder, 2 days ago, and it sucks because I'm a drummer, I need my shoulder to be able to play the songs that I have to play. I'm getting some injections next week, I hope like hell they work. 6 months to 2 years it's a long time for me not to be able to play My Drum set.

In 2009, I had a frozen shoulder. I had 2 visits with PT. When I complained that the exercises were very painful and reducing my ROM, the PT shrugged and said I HAD to do the exercises. I had a methylprednisolone injection prior to starting PT. I made an appt with my old standby ortho. He sent me to a shoulder doc in Sacramento. Dr Hirahara was researching PRP. I know that PRP has not been conclusive but he gave me PRP. I had excellent, very responsive PT and recovered completely. Who knows if it was the PRP, the excellent PT or the combination? I still use the same PT clinic; I've a few other injuries. . .

@mclrose7 9 ай бұрын

Not sure if it was frozen or arthritis, but a few decades ago my shoulder was so painful that I couldn’t do some of the simple things such as opening doors or carrying my purse. I rubbed castor oil on it about 3 times a day, & in a month I saw improvement. Almost total relief about 6 mos later. It never totally went away, but it stopped bothering me. Castor oil has helped my other joints as well. The key is persistence.

I was diagnosed with calcific tendonitis in three shoulders-not that I have three shoulders-it was in one twice. All different times. Sounds a lot like frozen shoulder symptoms. Pretty painful when the dissolving process was going on.
