Glucosamine and frozen shoulder
Common Questions and Answers about Glucosamine and frozen shoulder
glucosamine
The orthopedic surgeon I was referred to said I have a moderate to severe frozen shoulder and recommended manipulation under general anesthesia. He said I would have PT for a few weeks after and should be better after that. Are there risks, like risks of broken arm or more damage to the shoulder? I am seriously considering doing it b/c I cannot stand the pain any longer and want to get it over and done with. But I am afraid. Is the PT very painful after the surgery?
she 42 fairly active, no medical issues or past, well, about a week after the shot she had incredible pain...and went to see a doctor, and they informed her she had frozen shoulder...I have had dozens of flu shots in the past...can a person get frozen shoulder from a flu shot?? or in your professional opinion could this have been caused by an inexperienced nurse?
Yes, it can/does happen. I just spoke to my PT about it last week as I am having pain in my opposite shoulder as well.
She said it's because I am using the 'other' shoulder so much, compensating for the lack of use of the bad shoulder. . "Overuse" was the word she said. And that I MUST start excercising and stretching it IMMEDIATELY or it too will become frozen.
I was curious how many MS patients have also had frozen shoulder. I was diagnosed with a double case of frozen shoulder...I have it in both of my shoulders. It is a horribly painful condition but basically the only treatment is physical therapy because it will resolve on its own in 1 to 3 years. There are a few things the orthopede can try but usually they don't resort to surgical procedures unless it isn't beginning to resolve within a year or 2.
I been to a orthpedic surgeon wiyh my shoulder, he told me that he never saw a shoulder like mine. It hurts all the time. I have a pinched nerve and tendonitis, and a torn ligament or muscle. I'm hurting more now. I'm in physical therapy. Its hurting under my arm on the side as well as to the top and the back, its werid. Just wondering what I could do to help with the pain.
Before this improves, the cause of pain must be eliminated first. A primary frozen shoulder forms for no specific reason, and is insidious in its onset. with increasing loss of motion that sometimes goes unnoticed by the patient for some time. Either way, it can some times take a year, before the patient regains full motion.
Sometimes an MRI exam may show inflammation, but there are no specific signs to diagnose frozen shoulder. Apply warm compresses and take some anti inflammatory pain killers like Ibuprofen/ Diclofenac. If the symptoms persist then get it evaluated from an orthopedician.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
HI
After having subacrominal bursectomy by arthroscope in december 2009 i developed a post-op frozen shoulder. I had no internal or external rotation and could only raise my arm behind my back to my hip pocket on my jeans. In march 2010 i had manipulation under anestetic with arthroscope and the surgeon achieved 160 degrees of movement. I have had physio therapy twice a week and have also been receiving hydrotherapy twice a week.
Any injury to the shoulder can lead to frozen shoulder, including tendonitis, bursitis, and rotator cuff injury. Frozen shoulders occur more frequently in patients with diabetes, chronic inflammatory arthritis of the shoulder, or after chest or breast surgery or autoimmunity. Long-term immobility of the shoulder joint can put people at risk to develop a frozen shoulder.
Although, immobility adds to the problem hence continue mild passive exercises. Please continue diclofen too.
I have had pain in my left shoulder and arm since 09/2008. The orthopedist said that it is Frozen Shoulder and referred me to physical therapy. I went to physical therapy and did stretching exercises for a month and then moved out of state. The physical therapist said that she didn;t think I have Frozen Shoulder because my extension was improving so fast. I am now retired and waiting for OPM to change myinsurance plan (previous one iis not in this state).
Hi,
The causes of shoulder and arm pain are- frozen shoulder, muscle strain, Parsonage turner syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, shoulder bursitis, nerve compression or shoulder tendonitis. Please go for MRI of spine, and arm and consult a neurologist and orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
Have you ever heard of a frozen shoulder? It is otherwise known as adhesive capsulitis. The shoulder has a balloon around it that contains fluid similar to oil. It lubricates the joint and the inside of the balloon. If someone doesn't move the shoulder through full range on a daily basis (say, due to injury or surgery), the inside of the capsule doesn't get lubricated and then starts to stick together.
It first progressed very quicky into frozen shoulder and I went through physical thearapy, cortisone injections etc. The frozen shoulder eventually thawed on its own (in about 6 months) and I got back motion on my right arm but the pain never went away. In the past one year, I have been having pain in the leg muscle below the knee on my right leg. It is the kind of pain that is bothersome but not to the extent of me reeling in pain and is most felt during the night.
I just recently started taking glucosamine and Chondroitin to help my knee recover from a dislocated patella. but for some reason my contact lenses have become very dry is that a side effect of the glucosamine??. I have used this type of soft contacts for a long time but never experienced this problem. Thanks.
It was fine for a while with some pain now and then. But as i started playing soccer and/or running in the cold my shoulder swells up and I have a very very sharp pain. It even hurts to breath. I love playing in the cold, but the pain is sometimes to much to bear. If anybody could give me tips or tricks to prevent this pain from coming or at least so i don't have as much pain, it would be greatly appreciated.
