My massage therapist does myofascial, released and cupping during our massage sessions. Can’t say it improved anything long term, but good to get the blood flowing through those muscles, which helps lessen the pain some. Also, use a rolling pin, roller ball or racquetball to massage several times a day on your own for 3-5 minutes. It all helps!

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement! I did fire my PT yesterday, and it's been like removing a 100lb weight off my shoulders! I actually slept through the night for the first time in months! I spoke with my doctor who's very supportive of whatever I decide to do. He wants me to continue doing my home exercises until I find the right PT! I was at 103 ROM on Friday. My doctor got 110 through the MUA. He didn't push it because I've got osteoporosis already which I'm taking Reclast for. It can leave you suspectable to bone fractures. Now I'm going to look at finding the "best" PT for me. I have to believe not all of them believe there is only success through pain! Thank you again!💖🙏
