I have a completely different body type than dwgnldy but have two bad shoulders. PT helped me with them both. I do not have full range of motion in either but it's not too bad. And I no longer have any pain. But I'm more careful now.Wudashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159544800990501446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9383038.post-80155438439784861432011-06-25T11:39:54.669-07:002011-06-25T11:39:54.669-07:00I'm glad that your surgery was only bumped a w...I'm glad that your surgery was only bumped a week. I hope it goes well. I had lost some range of motion in one of my shoulders. I found working out with weights really helps and I have full range back and never had much pain.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17210510388412082261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9383038.post-20334462932156492702011-06-25T09:53:55.246-07:002011-06-25T09:53:55.246-07:00I had my frozen shoulder surgery in my left should...I had my frozen shoulder surgery in my left shoulder done a few years ago. I finally went in when the pain got so bad I'd drop to my knees in tears. <br /><br />I called the doctor on Thursday, had the MRI Friday and was in surgery a week later. I didn't have time to ponder or worry about the operation. I was supposed to have the surgery at 10:00 and they called and said there was a cancellation could I come in immediately and have it done at 8:00. Of course I jumped at that offer. I was still filling out insurance papers when they were inserting the IV. I signed the paper, they put me on the funny little table and that's all I remember. Today, I have full range of motion in that shoulder and it's completely pain free.<br /><br />My right shoulder's been painful for almost two years now. Since I didn't have medical insurance, surgery was out of the question. A small % of women start seeing a decline and reversal of the frozen shoulder after 15 months. Yep, this on has eased and it's not nearly as painful but I'm contributing it to a fall last year which forced my shoulder backward and upward. I think it just bought me some time to decide when I want the surgery.<br /><br />PT for me was 9 weeks and I really beat the crap out of the shoulder with my exercises. It was worth the pain and discomfort.<br /><br />Good luck kiddo! I hope you get the surgery soon. It will really make all the difference in the world.dwgnldyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669959475470503132noreply@blogger.com
