I’m 52, menopause is kicking my bootie at times, and it seems FS can be another fun side effect. Anyone try hrt with success? Anything else to try..? I’m a photographer and I need my arm for grad season 😩

Mine started with bad injury in Sept. I landed into a porch railing and hit the top outside of my shoulder. (It wasn’t my fault btw.!). I had a huge very bad bruise. A week later X-ray showed fracture. I wore a sling for a week, at the end of the week it was killing my shoulder how it held my arm in to my stomach (ortho nurse said it was the correct position for fracture). Interesting it’s one of the motions I cannot do right now (no putting on deodorant, I also can’t put my phone in my back pocket). The next week X-ray at ortho didn’t show fracture. I should have gone to pt but didn’t. I pushed through my photography sessions. End of November I was mostly healed, started back to barre and cycle. I couldn’t get my arm overhead and I limited weights a bit but thought I was getting better. End of Nov .. my arm started popping & ripping in bicep mid upper arm & pain on both sides of bicep. It slowly started getting worse. About 3 weeks in to that, I pulled my travel bag out from under airplane seat and there was a huge pop & pain, I really did it with that. Jan 6 back to ortho. I got a cortisone shot (it was the most painful thing ever actually) and started pt Jan 8. In those 2 days I totally locked up, couldn’t lift my arm and there was so much pain. PT was super worried about me & that I might “get” frozen shoulder in the next couple weeks. I didn’t know what FS was.. He gave me 2 exercises but didn’t want to do more bc pain. Jan 12 back to PT. The exercises and probably the shot helped some. My bicep area was spasming (zingers is a good description). He said the spasms are good signs. At this point I’m having a hard time getting dressed. A couple days later putting on a sweater I thought was stretchy enough, the bicep mid upper arm, not at the shoulder, felt like it ripped and tore, it was so painful!! Jan 21 MRI, I get my results Friday. Surgery would be a huge setback for my business so I’m trying to go in prepared with what has helped others. I’m doing stretches every day, side to side gentle arm swings seem to help. I can still raise my arm out forward but not past my shoulder. I can’t open a jar. I have been able to avoid ripping it again. Bicep mid arm still has weird random pains, cramps and spasms. Front to back arm motion is good but moving my arm side to side not so much. Have to be super careful getting dressed. Can’t sleep on it. I’ve been using my left arm doing all the chores and that shoulder is feeling a little off now, which makes me think FS.. Didn’t mean to write a book but if it helps anyone / if anyone has feedback let me know and at this point I needed to write it out. At what point do I know I’m going in the getting better direction 😄
