Frozen Shoulder with bicipetal tendonitis & bursitis from extreme trauma to shoulder.......also tear in anterior gleno-humeral labrum: Pain got so bad that I rested 3 weeks, thats when it \"froze\"....I didn\'t know any better. Its 75% better after 2 months PT...Plus LOTS of tumeric pwd. in capsules for the inflammation / enzymes to reduce inflammation / Rhus Tox homeopathic to promote healing {please see Homeopath for correct potency}, non-toxic diet / lots of pure water / home PT with heat 20 minutes, then SLOW SLOW breathing & stretching, followed by ice rub till numb= 2-3x a day!!!!! KEY to opening it all up= Self Somatics= {get info.},or go to a Somatics Practitioner! You go into the contraction of each muscle very slowly { gently first few times}... then SLOWlY out stretch the arm to stretch that muscle, releasing the muscle REALLY slowly while stretching it. FAST results! After a few weeks, out stretch arm slowly against some mild resistance. You must do it all VERY slowly/ Then will come the small weights to rebuild tissues..........slowly. If you can have patience, you will heal well!
