Unfortunately, in the twilight of the Gribble autumn, one has succumbed to not one, but a double dose of FROZEN SHOULDER - as opposed to the cold shoulder experienced when climbing into bed after a skinful of brown ale (thought I'd save Eduardo the trouble of posting that shaft of wit.....)
Has anyone similar experience and if so any advice as to treatment plans
Hydrodilation ?
Exercises - any to share ?
Prognosis ?
Sore Gribble.....

My shoulder wasn't frozen but movement was restricted and hydrodilation gave me back most of it over 2 treatments. I've also had a couple of friends with frozen shoulders who were totally fixed by it.
There are varying opinions about effectiveness. The radiologists who did mine (in Ballarat) were quoting only 25% success rate and seemed really surprised when I came back for my second treatment. I believe that there are Melbourne-based centres that are much more positive about their efficacy
Some experienced sports physios that I know haven't seen one fail when the problem is a frozen shoulder, and they've seen lots.
There's not many downsides to them apart from the hassle of having them which is under CT control. I found them mildly uncomfortable. I was warned by the radiologist that it would be worse than an epidural injection but found it was much less so.

Hydrodilation fixed my developing frozen shoulder completely. I was told at the time that it only works if you get it early.

My GP told me Hydrodilation is the go.
My Physio told me it's the last resort and you can achieve the same outcome with exercise over a longish (4 month) period of time.
The truth is in between ?????

Actually the last resort is surgery, not the dilation.
My surgeon wasn't a fan of hydrodilation but said he'd refer me for that because their was no downside and if it didn't work he could operate. I'm pleased it worked.

Hydrodilatation with cortisone worked for me, but for improving mobility post surgery rather than a frozen shoulder. The 'squishy' feeling afterwards is weird.

Had a frozen shoulder after a dislocation (bodysurfing, duh). Physio for 3 months and then easy autobelay indoor climbing unstuck it pretty well. I can hang my entire body weight off it. Now I just have some difficult spots that develop in the movement range if I stop climbing for more than a few weeks. We don't tend to reach up much as a part of out daily lives, but that's the environment we evolved from. What an incentive...

I had a 'frozen shoulder' after my collarbone was plated. Well actually there was a disagreement between my physio and surgeon.My Physio suggested I had a frozen shoulder and to try Hydrodilation, but my surgeon wasn't convinced and said to stick it out with just Physio as it was actually slowly improving with treatment and exercises.
16 excruciatingly painful physio sessions over ~4 months finally got me close to full range!

I was under the impression that post major shoulder surgery, it was inevitably going to be months to regain full movement. After mine, I started physio (otherwise known as torture) at 6 weeks or so and did the stretching myself about 5 times a day and still took 3 months or so to get full movement back. When I first came out of the sling, I could barely raise it 45 degrees.

Wendy, Dalai
This is good beta
I'm interested in going down the exercise path - can you direct me to the ones you did - there's a million on the internet, but I obviously want to narrow it down
