Have any of you diabetics had adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)? What was your experience like?
UJ, my range of motion is getting worse, my shoulder is super stiff and it still hurts like a mofo. Doc said he'll see me back in 6 weeks and in the meantime hit the PT hard (duh! what do you think I've been doing?) and if it is still that tight we'll talk about doing the closed manipulation again.

Surgery or Cortisone injections?
I have had pain (severe at times) in my shoulder for 3 years now. It kept getting diagnosed as Frozen shoulder, and I worked for along time with a physical therapist, had many pain meds including prednisone, norco, vicodin, oxycodone, and NSAIDS, which I have developed an allergy too. I have tried bayer back and body, tylenol and icy hot, patches. I finally got insurance and had an MRI it seems i have a tear of the rotator cuff, and "bruising in the bone marrow" of the shoulder. I saw an ortho with results in hand and she RUDELY said I needed cortisone shots. HELL no..... Is it too much to expect the doctor to want to FIX it and not keep just giving these shots which btw are painful and do NOTHING!!! I am pretty steamed. I am going to get a second opinion. I just barely jerk it the "wrong" way and its all together the worst pain I have ever had with the exception of childbirth. Should I demand a scope to fix it or go along with shots if he says the same thing she did. My primary md thinks she is too lazy to do the surgery.

Arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery might benefit older people, study finds

Repairing a rotator cuff tear via surgery can be a tough decision for older people -- not every surgeon wants to fix their tears that way, believing it may lead to longer healing time or poor outcomes.

It lasted roughly 2 hours, 45 minutes because two of four tendons were torn completely from the bone and another required major repairs. Not surprisingly, manager Ned Yost is already warning Kendall to curb his tough-guy impatience as he heads into a rehab procedure now projected at eight ...
