Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder: What helps?

I am curious why your doctor didn't suggest PT as an option. I'm sure there must be a reason why it wouldn't work in your case. I'm not sure PT helped my shoulder any more than just waiting it out, but the use of the TENS machine at the end of each session was worth going through the PT pain. It felt divine! I sympathize with you and hope you recover soon. I think the worst for me was never getting a good night's sleep. Each time I would roll flat on my back the pain in my shoulder was excruciating and would wake me up.

I am not sure why he didn’t, he listed a few things that have been tried over the years and didn’t work but he never said anything about that. I was so disheartened after he said ride it out and it would take 1 to 3 years, I did not even think to ask. I certainly agree about the sleep. I would probably be able to tolerate the pain of cleaning stalls, picking fruit and all the rest if I could just get a good nights sleep, but every time I move it is a five minute ordeal of getting that shoulder comfortable enough to try sleep again. Thank you for your comments, I hope you are well now.
