Hi Helen, sorry I did misunderstand you. Thanks for pointing that out. I am glad the frozen shoulder resolved on its own. It takes a while. It makes sense to stop the cause. I feel why do the drugs if you don’t have to. The body puts out pain signals to let you know there is a problem so why take medications to mask the pain to allow more usage. I agree, PT may not always help but worth a try. Knowing I have tried it at times and was unsuccessful, gave me a peace of mind to move on and try something else as you will do. In the mean time does heat or ice help with the pain? Remember, heat allows blood flow to the affected area while ice constricts the blood flow. Best of luck to you. Toni
