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. Let's conquer Frozen Shoulder together!
Managing Crohn's naturally has been a long road of trial and error, but it's been so worth it! After years of testing what actually works for me, I've found a supplement routine that help me stay in remission without meds. I'm always learning, however and it may look different a year from now if I find other supplements that are more effective or support my body in better ways. What works for me may not work for you- you have to try things for yourself- but I hope this is at least a starting point for you to get some ideas and help!

First off, I'm sorry you're reading this list because either you or a close family/friend broke an ankle/foot and it's not FUN!! I broke my right ankle (fibula) May 2023 and then the same right ankle again, June 2024 (tibia this time). It was terrrrrible both times lol but especially the first. I couldn't put ANY weight on my foot for 6 straight weeks, whereas the last time in 2024 when I broke it, I was able to walk using my boot.
But two weeks after breaking it in 2023, with the non-weight bearing, I had my planned trip to Belgium and still went. These things saved me during my healing time and traveling while injured.
I flew from New Jersey to a layover in Iceland then to Belgium and vice versa on the way home with a broke ankle not being able to walk. I used wheelchair services in the airport and that made my life much easier.
