What can be done about a frozen shoulder?


My partner fractured her elbow 3 months ago. It was operated on and a plaster was put on for three weeks. When the plaster was taken off she had got a frozen shoulder. The physio does not want to see her for treatment to her elbow until the frozen shoulder is healed. Can anyone shed light on a cure. She has tried acupuncture but to no avail. Regards

Sit by the fire.

Absolutely nothing ! i suffer very badly, sometimes I want to sit and cry - i too would try anything to stop this pain

put it in the microwave on defrost for 45 minutes and it'll be fine

Unfortunately time is the only healer, well that and some analgesia eg paracetamol or co codamol.

I have Arthritis severely and understand the pain and frustration your partner is going through. Time is a healer, try co-codamol, and maybe a gel like Ibuleve, and heat pads to get to the swelling in the middle and rest, dont over do it. I hope she feels better and keeps smiling, its hard I know!
