Still knitting . . .

Still sitting here knitting, but a lot slower.  I had never heard of a frozen shoulder until I went to the doctor a week and a half ago.  Let me tell you a frozen shoulder is painful.  Doc gave me a couple of cortisone shots, some muscle relaxers and some anti inflamatories that really seem to work.  I started physical therapy this week - it is a lot of work, takes a lot of time and some of it hurts like the dickens but it seems to be working.  I have much less pain (still quite a bit but a lot less) and the flexibility in my shoulder is starting to come back. Every time I get the least twinge in the other shoulder I am terrified that the same thing will happen tho!  I think that would make me cry.

Oh no, I hope your shoulder heals quickly. Sounds horrible.

I feel your pain. Having had a frozen shoulder years ago, I also stop at the least twinge. I hope you're feeling better soon!

I hope you can get it unfrozen like I did just two months ago. Lived with the pain in the left shoulder that slowly froze up. They put me to sleep and yanked my arm here and there. The freeze is gone but the shoulder is still hurting some.
