Hi all.

Has anyone experience of frozen shoulder, I am in excruciating pain atm, so much so that unless i can get some relief I will be taking a huge dose of pain relief.

I don't normally have any problems with my doctor, but due to retirement, pregnant etc, the only have one GP that can administer injections and he is on holiday for 3 weeks and fully booked. I have emailed him regarding getting refereed for private treatment as I cannot continue as I am.
Sorry to be morbid, but I don't know where to turn.

DH and I were chatting the other day and he was talking about when he had acupuncture. I said "when did you have acupuncture?" ”For my frozen shoulder" he said "and it worked." I had forgotten about it until then. He said it wasn't uncomfortable and I know he hasn't had a recurrence since. So that may be worth a try if all else fails.

Shoulder has now been injected and I have had a physio session. Physio manipulated it and freed it up completely, another session with him in a few weeks.

wobbly! ? Lovely to hear from you, and that your shoulder is on the mend. Keep up the physio, it really helped me with mine.

I am so pleased that your shoulder has improved, Wobbly. Also hope that the signs of Spring have lifted your spirit a little. stdavids

Glad to hear the pain has gone.
I had a similar thing, but it was due to a fall. Now ok but still limited movement.
