Oh I feel for you! I had "frozen shoulder" which is adhesive incapsilitis. My shoulder just started hurting and it got to the point where I could not move it, had difficulty dressing, and excuciating pain. I did some research and learned this occurs primarily in women in their 50's which makes sense regarding the menopause comment made on the post above. I went to a great physical therapist who worked on my shoulder for several months, had one session of cortisone which helped the pain tremendously but then read these are not good for the body so I continued with mt PT and 3x daily excercise on my own per his instructions. I learned this takes about a year to finally work through.....and, for me, that was the case. I don't wish this on anyone as that was the worse pain I ever experienced. Thankfully, my shoulder is back to normal and I have full range of motion. My PT said it is highly likely that it could happen again. His advice: keep active, excercise regularly. As a result, I bought a treadmill and walk 3 to 5 times a week. My advice to you: find a PT who has had experience with this condition. Good luck and good health to you! Connie in California
