That was my situation Ayesha,the surgeon more or less said an op was the only cure but after an appointment with a physio,she said,it's all surgeons will offer as it is what they know kind of thing but before physio, I think the physiotherapist  MUST know what the issue is i.e after an X-ray or MRI

[Ayesha]

Its only by being in contact with physiotherapists that you find out an operation is not always necessary. The lay person would only ever assume that a severely damaged knee could only be fixed by an operation.  I was amazed and I love to pass her story on to any physio I come into contact with, they always end up with a smile on their face.

Cycling is her life enabling her to travel the world, and to think if she had gone under the knife, her career would be over far too soon.

I'll put my 2p in.. lol
I had a frozen  Left shoulder years ago..
Tried EVERYTHING... physio, steroid shots, accupuncture over a excruciating 16 to 20 month period..
Unfortunately for me NOTHING worked..
I was working in a very busy ,very physically challenging NHS ward.
I did end up needing keyhole (laproscopic) surgery... to sort my shoulder out..
Recovery was not the most fun.. lol
Once recovered it was like night and day..
Just my experience with it..

Lifting won't have helped Amerififer!

You have my sympathies Joni. I've had a frozen shoulder on both sides, although thankfully not at the same time!

Both started very suddenly and standard physio did nothing for me - if anything it seemed to aggravate it.

I was lucky to find a really good Bowen therapist not far from me who helped enormously.

An episode of "The Drive" with Peter Attia (he's an american doc) came up in my podcast feed this week all about the shoulder, elbow etc. There's a brief discussion of frozen shoulder at around 1 hour 6 minutes that I found interesting and useful. If you listen to podcasts, I'm sure you can find it by searching...
