I had shoulder surgery on October 10 to repair 3 torn tendons and the rotator cuff. I tore and dislocated my bicep tendon at the shoulder and it had to be reattached,I also had arthritis shaved off the clavicle and a bone spur shaved down. I was in a sling and immobile for 6 weeks. I began going to physical therapy at week 2. By the end of the 6 weeks the pain was unbearable and I kept getting told that it should not hurt that bad. I have a high pain threshold and it was exceeding that limit. I just had a TKR in May and did not have near the pain as this. I went for my 6 weeks follow up on Friday and was told that I had Frozen Shoulder, which explained the pain. The doctor does not want to continue pain meds and I am do not want to either. I can't drive when taking them and I need to be able to drive myself around. I read that Frozen Shoulder is very painful and can take a long time to loosen up. At the moment I am on Ibuprophen and tylenol and using my ice pack as often as possible and during the night. The last time I went to PT was before the doctors appointment and I was up all night in severe pain. I am dreading having the PT move it anymore. I have been using it as much as I can, but am seriously afraid of the exercises that I am about to begin. I need to hear from people who have had this problem and any advice on how to ease the pain, as well as how to speed up the recovery process.
