I've went to see my GP after my upper arm really hurting for a month & my arm movements getting more restricted.
My GP sent me for physio who I saw today. He diagnosed me with frozen shoulder. My symptoms are VERY limited arm movements with the most intense awful burning pain in my upper arm muscle towards my armpit. This radiates down my arm and the back my wrist feels numb as if my watch is too tight. At no point though have I had ANY pain in my actual shoulder itself so I was very surprised when the physio said that's what I have.
Sí... es muy común tener dolor que baja por el brazo y alguna sensación de hormigueo/entumecimiento. Cuando siento un dolor real en el hombro mismo (y luego se generaliza) es cuando hago cualquier tipo de movimiento que crea un movimiento de tirón en el hombro. Así que imagina tratar de separar algo pegajoso.... cuando finalmente se suelta... ¡cuidado! Este verano estaba desgranando maíz en la mazorca y esto sucedió y lloré, me sentí nauseabundo y tuve que sentarme en el suelo porque iba a desmayarme del dolor. Ahora soy muy cuidadoso.... incluso al abrir un paquete/correo....
Cuídate y espero que empieces a sentirte mejor pronto.
Hola Hayley, parece que tienes hombro congelado. Mi dolor está hacia el frente de mi hombro, en mi bíceps, bajando por el brazo hasta el codo y también tengo hormigueo en los dedos. También tengo dolor hacia el pecho.
Las alegrías del "hombro congelado"
Desafortunadamente, no se queda solo en el hombro.
Los ejercicios del fisioterapeuta ayudarán, pero lleva mucho tiempo mejorar....,
This sounds all to familiar. My pain was more in my bicep, down my forearm elbow wrist and even fingers but I could not raise my arm without my whole shoulder lifting. I am thankfully out the other side. I had intence pain for months and many sleepless nights, but there is an end to this, I now have around 95% ROM back in my right arm.
Me alegra leer tu publicación y recibir algo de esperanza, Cindy. Todavía estoy en la etapa muy dolorosa. Algunos días y noches son peores que otros, pero espero que pronto no haya más dolor y pueda dormir toda la noche.
I had Xiaflex injections done in my FS. Is a protien that only eliminates collagen build up that causes the pain and loss of ROM
After two weeks went back in for manipulation and the had a splint and a couple weeks of therapy. That was 8 months ago and have full range og movement back and no pain.
My experience was identical to ours..but now almost a year since my diagnosis I'm no longer in intense pain but my ROM is still very restricted and I get slight muscular pain feeling on my shoulder now.. Hopefully this FS is working its way out ....
Hi Irene.you probably do not want to hear this because I know it feels like a life time away from where you are now but I think.it was around the 9 month stage when the pain subsided. Movement was still limited but oh the relief was immense.
My Physio says it's partly because some muscles are overworking and getting tired and sore, and partly because of reflected pain.
This week he was pressing on muscles at the back of my shoulder blades, the back of my shoulder blades felt nice, like they were un-knotting, but at the same time I had a horrible ache in my upper arm, he said that's where the pain is reflected to, from that muscle.
I see him once a week. I have a big improvement after seeing him and then the pain builds up again.
I've started having a turmeric drink each morning, magnesium tablet at night, sleeping with my sore arm resting on s pillow and am trying out a better quality pillow. Also doing exercises and trying to stretch.
Hi my symptoms are the same ..... it's so debilitating and feels like there's no end to it! I've seen a chiropractor and have been doing physio. I'm a very active person and not being able to do my yoga and swimming has really got me down ..... I have been given gabopentin pain killers( used for epilepsy)but they don't give any relief and have started to make me itch.sleeping on my back all night is so uncomfortable too Going back to my GP to see what I can do. I am normally a very positive person but really struggling to stay that way with this continual pain
Hola Tracy. Me identifico con tus síntomas. Fui diagnosticada originalmente con hombro congelado en febrero de 2017 después de experimentar movimientos muy restringidos en el hombro izquierdo y dolor desde el hombro hasta el brazo. También, a veces, dolor en el pecho del mismo lado. Me enviaron a hacer una radiografía. El médico dijo que tengo desgaste articular en el hombro. Sin embargo, parece que tengo dolor desde el hombro hasta el codo y el antebrazo. Me resulta difícil vestirme y conducir. No sé si vale la pena volver a ver al médico de cabecera o no. Estoy tomando Naproxeno y co-codamol. Perdona por el mensaje tan largo. Solo me preguntaba si has encontrado algún otro tratamiento efectivo. Gracias de antemano.
This is how frozen shoulder starts. Get an X-ray to rule out other conditions though. If you don't get pain in your shoulder waking you up at night that's good. I am suffering from my second frozen shoulder😱. Tramadol didn't work last year, nothing did! This year I am on Naproxen, a friend used it for her frozen shoulder. I learnt a lot last year, so as soon as I felt the pain at night in my shoulder went to the doc. I also organised an early steroid injection. This is not pleasant but the pain I endured last year was beyond description. More and longer lasting than child birth! I set up a Pinterest board to help others. Do not put any heat on your shoulder, just frozen peas! Get a chiropractor too!
¡Hola! He tenido 2 inyecciones de cortisona en la articulación y 1 hidroartrosis (cortisona con 50 ml de solución salina que está destinada a "romper" el hombro congelado). Solo funcionaron temporalmente y acabo de someterme a una segunda cirugía en el hombro para limpiar los daños (de nuevo) y el especialista espera que esto lo solucione. Por lo general, las inyecciones funcionan para la mayoría de las personas, solo que no para mí
