One year later (yes.....one year) I have 90% use of my arm and shoulder. My friend who is a DR also had a Frozen Shoulder and he said most cases resolve themselves completely without treatment in 1-2 years. He is a cancer surgeon so I'm pretty sure he was informed on his decision not to operate before he would risk his career with his own shoulder issues  |
Wow! This is good to know and from a great source! Do you think that since my GP now knows it is a partial tear that it would be a good idea for him to refer me back to PT and have them start on a program? My insurance pays 100% for PT so this would be no problem.
I don't swim very well so that would be out. I do know how to stretch! lol Surely my GP has some stretching exercises he could share with me.
I can just hear the Orthopedic surgeon say "Let's schedule surgery now!" After all, this is their job. I am definitely going to listen to what he says, but I'm not scheduling on that day.
