Good evening. Thanks so much for staying in touch. Adhesive capsulitis is a frozen shoulder so that is correct. I am not surprised that the injection hasn't helped. However, I thought I would share my favorite exercise fron my research because it was what worked for me after the first Reverse shoulder replacement to avoid frozen shoulder in the connective tissue around the joint.
My PT worked with the surgeon to find a "solution". I didn't have trouble with the "circles". They got easier to do as time went on. My sister-in-law suffered from a frozen shoulder after my brother died. She also did circles. She is a polio survivor so her situation was perhaps more severe than my ripped and torn right shoulder.

I haven't had an opportunity to schedule the next step. I have been dealing with some medication changes ......leaving the large doses of gabapentin behind and replacing it with adjusted doses of medical cannabis. It is amazing how much memory spark I have recovered. So of course, I am thinking I might also have found a way to handle the increasing discomfort in the left shoulder.

Where did you get the shoulder brace for sleeping? That is one of my most difficult irritants. Especially in the middle of the night when I just accidentally roll to the left and I feel like screaming. So......it sounds like you are having some protection and comfort from the brace.

It is interesting that heat is helping you. I have always been told to use ice. So, my dear colleague, I will wait and see what you choose for your meds after your follow-up.

So nice to "chat" with you.

May you be healthy and whole...... the sooner the better.

Relax your shoulders.
Stand and lean over slightly, allowing your affected arm to hang down.
Swing the arm in a small circle — about a foot in diameter.
Perform 10 revolutions in each direction, once a day.
As your symptoms improve, increase the diameter of your swing, but never force it.
