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! 😉

@lindapowell5564 10 месяцев назад

I was diagnosed after waiting months because of Covid. I was told PT would take about two years . Three years with no intervention. The next day, walking the dog on frozen ground, I fell incredibly hard, unable to get my hands out to break fall. As my face and eye had taken a hit and required a visit to the optometrist, it was a day or two before I realized my frozen shoulder was now unfrozen!!! I hit so hard that I think I somehow traumaticLLY FIXED IT!

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!

@angelajames7917 10 месяцев назад

Same. The pain felt like a knitting needle going through your shoulder. Then the pain stopped, and I couldn't move my arm up or down. Mine lasted 3 months. No PT, and it resolved on its own. I pray it doesn't come back. 😢

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.

@peace5647 5 месяцев назад

If you haven’t already gone: go to the chiropractor and have him break up those adhesions.

@adoseofcare 10 месяцев назад

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.

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

@lindalarkins2940 10 месяцев назад

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.

@edanddianahahn3484 3 дня назад

Had frozen shoulder and thought moving it would hurt it. Ended up getting PT and a long time til pain was gone. Then the other shoulder flared up. This time, I knew to keep moving it even if it hurt. I immediately got to a pool. The water allowed me to move my arm around without the wait of my arm making it hurt worse. That time, it healed up so much quicker. If you can, use a pool in addition to PT to move your arm.

@angeleenhmm9730 10 месяцев назад

Keep moving and stretching your shoulder! It does get better.

@shubinternet 10 месяцев назад

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.

@missmarty29 3 месяца назад

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!!!

@kima8670 2 месяца назад

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.

@amymann9148 2 месяца назад

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.

@kima8670 2 месяца назад

@@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 hope you improve, you know I feel for you!

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.

@ryanm7171 10 месяцев назад

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.

@dougcross800 10 месяцев назад

@travellinglady9484 10 месяцев назад

This was timely! It only went up an hour ago, on the day I injured my shoulder by falling on a hard pavement. Nothing broken but stiffness and awful pain so I expect it is 'frozen'. Thanks for the advice, I expect the pain to go within 3 years, that is something to look forward to!

@Luisjusthere 27 дней назад

Literally have it as we speak, hence why I’m here on this video comment. No trauma and don’t really play sports, it honestly came out of nowhere but I do sleep on my side or belly down and arm over me so perhaps that. Started officially two days ago and today I tried some acupuncture with E-stim, some other devices, heat lamp with infra red light/heat and the stretching and movement (which was a bit painful) and it all has become incredibly better! Pain still there on certain movements but definitely a solid 40/50 percent better, range of motion noticeably better with less pain and now I can even lay on it or put pressure on it when I stand up with said arm without any real pain!

@loisblake5854 10 месяцев назад

I had frozen shoulder 10 years ago. The pain was so intense during the freezing stage that if I moved my arm the wrong way, I would drop to my knees in agony. Maybe even worse than childbirth....It is a horrid condition. I did physical therapy and acupuncture. Nothing worked. Took a good 18 months to resolve. Five years later I got it in my other shoulder! Second time around was not as bad.

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!

Good information. There seems to be lots of options for treatment, which is a good thing. 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 it in both shoulders. No thyroid issues or diabetes. First time, I endured torturous PT for months, thinking that if I just worked harder, it would help. It didn’t, so my doc told me to stop. Second time around, I just waited. I never fully regained backward motion of either arm, but that was a small price to pay for the pain eventually stopping.

I am currently experiencing a second round of having a frozen shoulder. In 2019 it was the left and it took 2 years to fully heal. This time its the left, very painful but I have found if I stick to an anti-inflammatory diet (no sugar, wheat, limited dairy) and taking turmeric, ginger shots has helped. Also acupuncture has helped. Massage and applying castor oil with frankincense essential oil has done wonders.

In the middle of this condition (ninth month) due to more than one injury to my shoulder...very painful the first few months. Very difficult to sleep on my side or on my stomach during this time. I didn't want the steroid shot so I took ibuprofen for the pain. I also had three six week sessions of physical therapy. My mobility has gone much better. 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. Massaging, streching in the morning and before bedtime has helped tremendously.

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.

Great video! Yes sooooo painful. I injured my right sholuder and the frozen shoulder emerged out of that. I have been seeing an Osteopath weekly for months and going to slow down on that. I do cupping and accupuncture on myself, warming Chinese type tiger balm oil, massage gun, hot showers with ball against wall rolling on scapula...even tuning forks! And then just leaving it the hell alone aswell. Time it will take, but waking up from the pain of this thing is the worst...not being able to do my very long hair up is not great either and I cannot hug my man in bed easily which I really miss! Try and avoid shoulder injuries at all costs!!!

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.

After having surgery on both shoulders for torn tendons I developed rozen shoulder on both sides. Did physio, had hydrodialation, did a lot of rehab at home. I didn't think it would ever get better but with perseverance and a lot of hard work I can now do 30kg military press easily, I have regained almost full range of movement. I now do 1 hour of weight training g 5 days a week and I'm 55 years old. I feel great.

Ugh, dealing with frozen shoulder now, I’m about 4 months in. Reading all these comments at least makes me feel less lonely in this pain. Mine came out of no where. Like others, the pain is so severe it can make me literally sob in seconds from the excruciating pain. The problem is there is nothing you can do when it really gets aggravated. No touching or massage stops it, like if it were a cramp. It feels like your arm is being ripped off or dislocated. You try to hold it for support, but sometimes that makes it worse. Then there’s everyday life, forget dressing like a normal person for a while. I got stuck for 10 mins trying to take off a shirt. I was so exhausted from the effort I decided to change my wardrobe just so I can dress myself easier. Sleeping is so uncomfortable if you’re a side sleeper; that seems to get worse and worse as time goes by. I feel like I have a little T-Rex left arm, that can’t really move to the side or around my back. This f’ing sucks ass!! I’m trying to do my own PT, but it doesn’t feel much better. Trying to decide if I should get a cortisone shot, but it sounds like that might not help. Maybe acupuncture? Praying this won’t take a year or longer to get back to normal. I have too many events where I need my mobility, and these last 4 months have been a real b!tch!! The only pain worse than this, (that I know or have experienced) is sciatic nerve pain. I’m not kidding when I say if I owned a chainsaw I might have severed my leg for relief. The pain is really that bad!! For that I got an epidural of cortisone in my lower back, which was the worst experience of my life. I felt everything and wasn’t allowed to move or ya know, I could’ve been paralyzed, that’s all. But it was that or chainsaw, so... That shot did help but only for a few months and a lessor pain came back, until PT really got rid of it and time. Well best of luck to anyone that gets this twisted torture, may it leave as fast as it shows up!

@user-hh8bg4fy4t 19 дней назад

Horrible pain! I was diagnosed early and began therapy, still got cortizone shots, 3 of them. It took me over a year to feel myself again. I did gained back mobility but only 90-95%. Sadly, I started with pain again few days ago after 3 yrs of feeling better. And yes, you can get it again on the same shoulder. Being familiar with the symptoms I think my right shoulder is showing some signs of frozen shoulder too, and I'm right handed. Thankfully I know what to do in order to feel immediate relief. I also have pain killers in order to sleep while adding heat to my shoulder. It is vital to do stretching, it gives you the comfort you need avoiding the throbbing pain it causes. Today my pain level is 10, but the excercises must continue. If you don’t do them you will feel worst. Thank you.

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!!

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.

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)?

@mindytaylor26 10 месяцев назад

I had a frozen shoulder just earlier this year. Lost range of motion and severe pain when I tried to move it. Once I realized it was interfering with my daily activities, I went to PT for advice. Took Meloxicam, 6 weeks of therapy, little improvement, she sent me to orthopedic doc. X-rays, confirmed frozen shoulder. Injection and 6 more weeks of therapy. Mostly better, just this week I have some soreness again in shoulder, just keep moving it. I am 51 and was told this seems to happen quite frequently in women ages 45-60. Hmmm. Hormonal changes perhaps? Thanks for a good video, docs

Did PT, had MRI I do have 2 small tears but they are not worries about that so now I'm back in PT as I was not sure if I needed surgery or not. It's hard to do my job but I fight through it. It hurts so bad. It's been since April, 3 months so far this time.

For me the pain in the shoulder started overnight in bed. It progressed for a few days and I was not able to bring my arm up shoulder high from the side but could rotate it and bring my arm up to my face. I had one shot in the shoulder and 10 weekly visits to PT and finally got through it.

I have been lifting weights since my early twenties. I developed frozen shoulder on my left at age 48. I had one hydrodilatation injection, and it was like a miracle cure. After a few months of follow-up physiotherapy, I had my range of motion back to 85%, and after one year, 95%. However, I had a labral tear and nerve damage of my infraspinatus on the same side two years afterwards and I had major surgery. Now I am 56, I am still lifting weights regularly, and I am as fit as I was in my 40s.

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. . .

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.

@todayistomorrow9067 10 месяцев назад

There is no need for shots in the shoulder nor surgeries. The tendons from the scapula ,the neck shoulder and the breast all conjoin at the shoulder and are all connected together at the side of the bicep. Start by thumb nuckling the side of the bicep and you will feel what is like a knot. That is like tightly wound rubber bands Like inside a golf ball. 30 seconds if you can stand it. Then arms straight down at side and twist wrists back and forth for 30 seconds. If able. put hands behind back and interlace your fingers and push down as if you were pushing against something. Pull arms up behind back while fingers still interlaced and push back down again Repeat as often as possible 30 seconds at a time ,for about 5 minutes.... You will be happy to have released the tension of your frozen shoulder. It helps me and others I know and have shown this technique working wonderfully !!

Hi there! You caught me at the right time.....yes you stand straight and with right or left hand make a fist. then you use the knuckle on the bottom of your thumb and use it to knead the muscle in the side of your bicep. You will find that spot and rub it up and down ,sideways, and or in circles. It is like a little knot where all the tendons meet. You will know when you get the right spot as it is a like a Nickle sized spot on the side of the bicep. And it will be painful when you knead it fairly hard... then follow up with two other maneuvers and repeat all 3 maneuvers @@TheLoglady007
