Frozen shoulder is when the cartlidge fuses together. Movement causes the little areas where it fuses to rip and tear causing huge amounts of blinding (and I mean BLINDING!!!!) pain. Fortunately that stage is the first part as the bonds are just being made. Once it advances, the fusing is too solid and movement doesn't tear it because you CAN'T move. I lost nearly ALL range of motion in my shoulders. The only pain then was any pressure on the shoulders such as the type you get when sleeping on your side. Sadly, that's exactly how I always sleep.. on my side.. so I had a terrible time. I was a little lucky in that the pain was often worse on one side than another so I could sleep just one way then move to the other side weeks/months later.. back and forth. Now, I still have some pain on one side, but if I situate correctly I can finally sleep either direction. I've also noticed that I have some range of motion back.. not all or even half.. but an improvement and it seems to be getting slightly better each month. It may not return to normal, but anything is better than where I was. I am going to try a golf driving range which may be a big painful mistake, or it make demonstrate I really have made improvements. Playing golf is great low impact excercise (all the walking and flexibility). It would be great if I could do it once again. Look up Frozen Shoulder on the web to learn more. Usually it sticks to diabetics and women over 40.
