For me, this is a timely ad informative subject; my right shoulder has been "frozen" for a couple of years now. I can no longer fasten my bra in back and have had to purchase expensive front hook ones. It's hard to shave under my right arm since I can't lift it much above shoulder level. Forget hanging curtains, reaching things on the second shelf in the back, lifting boxes of quilting stuff to the top of the racks, using the wonderful outdoor clothesline, or reaching into the car's backseat.
I've done massage with an excellent therapist twice a week for 3 months. I'm now seeing a chiropractor for my right hip and shoulder; after 14 visits, not too much has changed in those, but I feel better generally. I'm giving acupuncture a serious consideration, but my insurance does not cover it.
I had "tennis elbow" years ago -- never played tennis in my life -- and an instructor of racket ball told me if I'd just go ahead and smack my husband I'd probably feel so much better. :roll: I'm more and more convinced that's a huge part of my solution!! But he lives too far away now. :? :cry:
But I never knew certain manulipulations could just free frozen shoulder quickly!
I went thru a friend's shoulder surgery with her this past year and I vowed I'd never put myself through that recovery process if there was any chance of avoiding it! :shock:
