FrozenShoulder

A frozen shoulder is a chronic inflammatory condition, which may occur in diabetics due to high blood sugar levels. About 10 to 20 percent of people with diabetes develop frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is most commonly found in women between the ages of 40 and 60. When a person has frozen shoulder, they have limited mobility when moving their arm on their own (active) and when their doctor manipulates the shoulder (passive). When you are in the freezing stage, you may have difficulty using your arm, and experiencing pain may be reduced.

Frozen shoulder treatment focuses on reducing pain and restoring mobility. The most common treatments are physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and steroid injections. People may elect to receive cortisone injections directly into the shoulder joint. Arthroscopy is also a technique designed to reduce adhesions by removing the thickened portion of the joint capsule.

For many people, frozen shoulder resolves completely and without surgery. However, it is possible for it to recur in the same arm or in the opposite arm, which means recovery must be ongoing for several years.

Can't sleep... went to physio earlier today and they said I was on my way to getting frozen shoulder (I didn't do my exercises.) Yippee! And now I'm getting restless legs to boot! So, I wrote a little song about it ;) might sound familiar to some...

I AM SORE!
Wah wah wah wah wah wah
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Body is hurting, from my head to my toes
Maybe it's not too late
That I might get better, and I'll feel great.
Rotator cuff not healing
But I'm the the one to blame
I'm going off the rails from this crazy pain
I'm going off the rails from this crazy pain

I've listened to doctors, I've listened to fools
I went on Google and made my own rules
Many prescriptions for pain control
Not able to sleep well. I toss and I roll.
Restless legs and cramping
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails from this crazy pain
I'm going off the rails from this crazy pain

I know there's always something wrong with me
You gotta listen to me yell
Yeah

From fit to bedridden, that's what I've become.
Cursed with this fibro, has made my brain dumb.
Crazy... I just cannot bear,
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
My body has stopped healing.
Who and what's to blame?
I'm going off the rails from this crazy pain
I'm going off the rails from this crazy pain
