Further to my posting on the 14th january,
I am still having a lot of pain from my
shoulder and I can also "feel" a clicking
movement.
Has anyone any ideas what this may be?

I am diabetic and had a frozen shoulder
which I corrected myself. I bought a
book from amazon.Com called the triiger
point therapy workbook. My shoulder was
also painful and I couldn,t raise my right
arm as high as my left. Within 5 min.
Of giving myself a massage on the trigger
point that causes the frozen shoulder, I
could raise the arm as high as the other.
I don,t know if I can help here, but the
arm that hurts, deeply massage the area
right in back of the neck and to the
right, towards the shoulder, about 3 to 5
inches down, but massage the whole area
with your fingers, and you might find
relief, you must do this 3 or 4 times a
day, hope it helps a little. Am editing
to correct spelling on book the trigger
point therapy workbook. Perhaps you can
find someone in your area familiar with
this type of massage.

Hi gram 1228, thanks for the advise. I
got my husband to massage on the trigger
points around my shoulder after your
advise and I have felt a bit better
although, as you said it has to be done
several times a day but it is worth it.
Anyone who has had a frozen shoulder will
know it is very painful.

I had one many years ago. I was given a
shot of cortisone in the shoulder. They
also have pills you can take but that
would take a little long to relieve the
shoulder. A frozen shoulder is a calcuim
deposit in your shoulder. Wherever there
is a joint it can happen. Believe me I
know. do not baby it.
Once you get the injection or pill you
need to move it as much as you can.

Further to my other messages about my
frozen shoulder, I have been using arnica
gel every day. My husband massages my arm
and shoulder each night with it and it
seems to have helped.

To hdh,
apart from arnica gel which is very good
in giving relief from the pain as an
external application, there are remedies
like sanguinaria can, chelidonium,
chinopodium, calcarea flour etc., which
taken internally can free the ligaments
and relieve frozen shoulder.
do not baby it.
