I had a frozen shoulder so I feel your pain. :-( Keep moving it. There are exercise to help unfreeze the shoulder. My shoulder was a big as a football pad. It hurts so bad you can not sleep or do anything with your arm. I could not brush my hair. But the exercise did unfreeze the shoulder. :thumbup:

I get to go see the Ortho on the 16th of Sept...

Charlee,
I feel your pain. Just keep moving it like the PT's tell you to do and yes it WILL hurt. But, it will slowly allow you to move it more each day.
Remember, "No Pain, No Gain".......
Hope you feel better soon and that this is not hampering your quilting.. If so I think we could arrange an intervention for you.. :wink:
Keep on quilting,
:XD:

I had frozen shoulder many years ago and the pt took care of it and I avoided surgery. Be prepared the actual pt can be quite painful. Maybe they have come up with better excercises. They did work and it has not given me any problems. Good luck with your treatment.

I guess if it hurts while it's getting better it's good you hurt? That just seems messed up! :? I hope this clears up soon.

Thanks Ladies! I keep moving it, because I'm either too involved with something to realize that it's gonna hurt, or to "test" it! :lol:

At this point, I can still fix my hair, because I can bend at the elbow. Am looking forward to seeing what the Ortho says, but evidently it should "fix itself" sooner or later!

I had that, went to a really good massage therapist and it got a lot better. I can't knit or crochet without pain but I can sew!!

Oh BOO!!! I hate it when "getting older" happens in such unexpected ways!!

Get better soon...will be praying for you!!

i hope they work things out for you and no surgery is required. therapy seems to be needed. my shoulder makes horrid clicking sounds and sometimes pinches where i can't move it. but not frozen. good luck!!
