Physiotherapy is the almost right treatment for frozen shoulder. You should consult to another physiotherapist if you are not getting the output better, but you have to be regular for the treatment coz it will only workout for you.

You have gone for the right treatment. This treatment is not that painful though. Just need to be given in a proper manner with proper aids. Discuss with your physiotherapist about the pain and ask him/her to change the plan of your treatment. It will definitely give you a good relief!!It can be little painful but the results of it are very satisfactory. If not working then try to change your physiotherapist!

I am 45 years old and had some pain on the top of my right shoulder and am not able to do pull-ups. Suddenly for the last one month my shoulder movement is further restricted and it is painful. I regularly take mineral drops. Is this shoulder pain symptoms of frozen shoulder and can it be caused due to overdose of minerals? Kindly suggest a quick remedy as I have to travel after two months.

Physiotherapy is the best treatment for periarthritic shoulder. But if you want to have any other treatment for frozen shoulder then you can go for analgesics along with the physiotherapy treatment and you will find a great difference.

I am 55 and had been playing golf for 2 years and from childhood to mid 30′s was a very good tennis player. I had been having pain and restricted movement of right shoulder for 3 months. I have been told that I have a frozen shoulder by the trained physio therapist when I went for relief from shoulder pain. The physiotherapy is very painful and can u suggest me any other mode of treatment for frozen shoulder.

Frozen shoulder or periarthritis of the shoulder joint, is a middle age problem where there is restricted movement of the affected joint with mild to severe pain.
The underlying cause may be diabetes, which if controlled gives some relief.
Simple X-ray does not give any clue; An M.R.I is suggested to rule out any fluid in the joint space. Some times there is tubercular effusion present. And if so, anti-tubercular treatment will be helpful.
Alternative medicine like homeopathy will give good relief to you, apart from the treatment you are taking.

I had frozen shoulder 10 years ago and had hydrocortisone injection. It was cured back then. Now, it has recurred recently. I had wax therapy for ten days and now having SWD (short wave diothermic) therapy for about 10 minutes daily followed by physical manipulation on the shoulder joint region by the physiotherapist; sometimes painful, but makes the movement of shoulder easier. The shooting pain is persisting. Also, I am doing excercises like pendulum, pulley, shoulder rotation, step ladder, etc. While doing the exercises, I also do simple rhythmic inhalation and exhalation excerises. Hoping for a redemption from the periarthritis, an expensive syndrome, sooner or later. Any suggestions?

The injections that your doctor may recommend will be usually either pain killers or muscle relaxants. They may provide you temporary relief, but you must get expert advice before your decide to take it. Exercises are safer to treat your frozen shoulder condition although they do not work instantly.
