MUA stories

I saw my orthopedic today. Ive been dealing with the stages of frozen shoulder for 8 months. Im in the frozen stage and have tried prednisone and a cortisone shot. Ive done PT and do exercises at home with no relief. Today my Orthopedic scheduled me for MUA. Im not 100% sold on this and told him so. He scheduled me with the option to change my mind. Would love to hear from those who have had MUA. Thanks

Full ROM suddenly returned!

I've been posting in here since I had a big, mysterious shoulder crack 19 days ago, followed by all sorts of weird arm sensations: a weak feeling, aching, tingling in my hand. Chest pain and pain referred to the back, neck, jaw, and forearms. I couldn’t sleep on that side bc my arm felt tender.

Tonight I was stretching and heard another pop, this time at what felt like the top of my shoulder, and all of a sudden I have full, complete ROM back. Nuts!! I did have some ART in the past week. Maybe that helped.

Posting this for anyone who needs some hope. It's been a very long road. Next month marks three years of FS.

Next step: PT. Keeping fingers crossed the arm stays this way and I can move on with my life!
