Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness, excessive pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and can be quite challenging to deal with. 😔 This condition occurs when the connective tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become thickened and tight, leading to inflammation and a loss of flexibility. Activities like reaching, lifting, and even simple daily tasks such as washing your hair, driving, and working out can become difficult and painful. But fear not! Understanding a frozen shoulder is the first step toward finding relief. While the exact cause is not always clear, factors such as previous shoulder injuries, prolonged immobility, and certain medical conditions may contribute to its development. The good news is that a frozen shoulder is usually temporary, although it can last for months or even years, Mine was 17 months long. With the right approach and treatment, you can regain mobility and alleviate discomfort. Seeking medical advice from a healthcare professional is essential for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. They may recommend a combination of physical therapy, pain management techniques, and exercises to improve flexibility and strength. Remember, patience and consistency are key. Stay positive and committed to your recovery journey. With proper care and support, you can overcome a frozen shoulder and restore full functionality to your shoulder joint. Browse through my board to discover helpful tips, exercises, and products that can assist you on your path to healing and regaining your shoulder's freedom of movement.

What I look for in a “must have” item:
•Functional (does it do the job right?)
•Affordability (does the cost fit the need?)
•Reliability (does it work every time?)
•Longevity (will it hold up to the task for the time I need it to?)
There are other factors of course and these are not necessarily in the same order every time. But I’m not one to throw money in the wind. So this list gets checked off every time for sure.
Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!
