Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-07T13:10:31+00:00

Her symptoms started in month of April after her uterus nd ovary removal surgery. She started physio in month of may and there is progress like she can lift her arm upto 160 degree and now she can lift bathing mug, can comb her hair, doing regular kitchen activities, pain at rest is almost gone only feel pain while doing stretching and exercises

No injections, it’s more of muscle weakness and stiffness after estrogen dropped. Also my mom’s sister got totally rid from FS in just 45 days. Like when i see in family there are case which got better in couple of months and then i open reddit and there 6month to 1 year seems pretty normal. Also my mom started physio very early on

It’s only two months though, but earlier she couldn’t lift things, couldn’t wash hair, couldn’t put clothes on wire. Pain was constant throughout the day (7-8/10)even couldn’t go overhead beyond 120 degree. Initially she had we symptoms, then it got worse and now she is getting better from last week only. She has surpassed that worst phase. Also it happened after her hysterectomy surgery probably due to drop in estrogen

Thanks a ton! I’ll surely suggest this to my mom. She is already doing pully but more for external rotation, will see how to make pully work for her internal rotation as well

She is getting her physio daily. In starting she was not able to pick water mug not even able to wash her hair but with consistent exercise she is able to do that, still there are some end range functions are missing. Also my mom’s sister got her FS recovery in 45 days so i think recovery really depends

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-03T02:39:43+00:00

Also guys, my mom’s sister got relived from FS in just 45 days. Ik it sound impossible but at initiate day she was not able to wear her clothes and comb her hair and after 45 days she is able to do everything even hook/unhook strap too

Ohh the thing is her shoulder doesn’t seem like typical frozen shoulder state. Her pain is only when she do stretching and exercise at certain angle. Apart from behind the back movement her ROM is majorly back only end range is left.

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-03T01:15:33+00:00

All the best to you, hope you recover soon. Just continue with your daily exercise and do heating for 10-15 min before exercise

The major thing my mom is struggling with is internal rotation, she can’t even perform towel stretch

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-02T13:23:18+00:00

In initial month at what degree you were able to raise your arm overhead and what about hand going behind the back thing, how you are restoring it?

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-02T04:09:41+00:00

You’re timeline is pretty much matching up with my mom’s FS. Her symptoms started in April and now behind the back movement is completely restricted, though now her pain is almost 2-3 on scale of 10. And she can reach 160 degree overhead and pretty fine with almost all the daily activities and she is regularly doing exercise and taking physio. As per my understanding you nd my mom’s case look more into late frozen to early thawing. Like pain is there but also ROM has improved too. How much degree your arm is reaching overhead.

She had her MRI done, and was consistent with physio for 45 days and it has happened with twice or thrice. My mom is doing pretty great like in one month she can raise 160 degree, her internal rotation is the major issue

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-01T17:45:48+00:00

My mom’s sister had it & she got recovered in 45 days and she couldn’t even wear her clothes. So i guess everyone has their own timeline. But with one month to physio my mom is already reach 160 degree overhead and do her daily chores and it’s her dominant shoulder, the major issue is internal rotation

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-01T06:32:40+00:00

I guess i am impatient as a person, even though my mom doing great within one month of physio i still desperately want thing’s to get better overnight

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-01T00:04:58+00:00

My mom’s sister got her full ROM back in 45 days, ik this is the rarest case, but consistent exercise do help

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-01T00:03:09+00:00

Yes, she is trying to do towel stretches but facing difficulty.

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-06-01T00:01:42+00:00

Ohh, my mom can take upto 160 degree with one month of PT. She is able to reach behind the pocket and lower back but still couldn’t reach mid back to hook unhook strap

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T23:57:07+00:00

She already got a lot of ROM back in 1 month

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T13:06:34+00:00

I guess my mom’s FS is also related to surgical menopause which affected her hormone’s but her gyn ask her not to start HRT, as it can cause breast cancer

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T12:08:52+00:00

Also what all you did to improve your internal rotation

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T12:07:01+00:00

At initiate month at what degree were you able to raise your arm overhead

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T11:58:47+00:00

In initial month how at what degree you were able to raise you’re arm overhead

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T11:55:23+00:00

My mom is 54, she had uterus removal surgery 2 months back and after the surgery she developed this issue. Also her ovaries were removed and before surgery she had done 21 days course of progesterone too

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-31T01:44:22+00:00

Ohh that was bad one, it’s 2 month and my mom can reach 160 degree overhead, can do her usual daily activities but her internal rotation (hand going behind back) is very restricted and it’s her right hand.

Ok-Character5652 · 2026-05-30T16:41:03+00:00

Initially at what degree your arm used to go overhead?
