Frozen Shoulder | Pain Down The Arm

Pain down the arm is common with frozen shoulder.

Some people only feel the pain around the shoulder itself but for others it can spread all the way to the hand. Trying to sleep on that side at night is often the worst thing.

The Effects of Exercises in Frozen Shoulder

Have you tried exercises for frozen shoulder?

I ask that because I kind of imagine that most people reading this will be suffering from shoulder pain themselves ... or at least will know someone with a frozen shoulder pain problem.

My family doctor sent me to a physiotherapist for some exercise treatment after only about six weeks of my problems. Now - the girl did try very hard, and she was very nice to me, but I have to say honestly that those frozen shoulder exercises were AGONY !

I often had to lie down for an hour or so when I got home from the sessions. My arm pain was just raging and seemed to spread right down to my hand after the exercise and stretching sessions.

It was only later when I read Doctor Cameron's book that I discovered that exercises too early in the frozen shoulder situation can actually aggravate things. It seems that the best time to do exercises is near to the end of the business - when the frozen shoudler is in its thawing out stage. Of course, there was no way for me to know that so I just assumed that I must be making a meal of it and tried to just plod on as normal.

I've since spoken to lots of people who've gained help from the effects of frozen shoulder exercises so please don't think I'm being negative about them. I'm not .... I just know that they were very painful for me.

Let me know about your experiences - share and we can all benefit.
