110 messages come up with several discussions on shoulder pain
Sami, I asked the same question April 1997:
Has anyone else had a diagnosis of "frozen shoulder"?
My sister was diagnosed as having a frozen shoulder this Jan. 1996 and
received Physical Therapy for her pain and limited movement. After 6
months of PT she was not much better, in fact she seemed to have more
difficulty with her arm and hand. She was diagnosed as probable PWP in
Aug.97 but was told that the"frozen shoulder" was a separate problem.
Of course when a major joint like a shoulder is involved, other parts
of connecting anatomy become involved ie: her right arm has become
progressively weak, she protects that arm and limits it's movement,
she has some difficulty holding a pen and writing, and she has pain in
her neck.
An orthopedic surgeon has examined her and xrays were normal. Her
neurogist did an MRI of her cervical spine and it was normal. She had
EMG muscle test wich showed minor problems but nothing to explain the
amount of symptoms she experiences.
My question is ...is this familiar to anyone? ...Is a frozen shoulder
a symptom of Parkinsons? Does anyone know any sucessful treatments for
frozen shoulder?
Thanks for any advice offered, Gail Vass (who uses Wanda Banks'
computer) to help her sister with Parkinsons

Sami, I offer this process to you because there is sooooooo much
valuable information that has been saved and archived for us,
and once you have learned how to use this you will know why we
call this "Archive Treasures"...
