Pain Relief
Yes, I know, we probably all have a bottle of Tylenol, but that's because it works. I can't take ibuprofen because of meds and aspirin doesn't work nearly as well. These work fast.

I haven't woken up in the middle of the night with pain since I started using this. I spray it on my shoulder, arms, and feet right before bed.
Pure Magnesium Oil Spray for Sleep, Feet & Leg Cramps - USP Grade - 4oz | Topical Magnesium Spray for Muscle Pain - Extra Strength & 100% Natural - Made in USA
I use this after exercising to help with inflammation, pain and discomfort. The straps stay in place, but honestly, especially when I first started using it, I sometimes needed help getting it on because of limited mobility.
REVIX XL Ice Pack for Shoulder Rotator Cuff, Reusable Gel Cold Pack | Cold Therapy for Rotator Cuff Surgery, Frozen Shoulder & Tendonitis, Hands-Free Ice Pack Fits Left & Right Shoulder, Black
I use this before doing physical therapy exercises to warm things up and I also use it before bed to relax me. It's lovely.

I know the strong smell isn't for everyone but I don't mind it too much and I only use it when I'm at home. It reminds me of childhood because my mother always used it on us. And, it does relieve pain.

Equipment
These help with physical therapy, exercise and my overall well-being, because relaxation helps me feel and move better.
This is my favorite massager ever!! Heat and massage and you can use it on your back, too! My shoulders move better when I've massaged the tension out and dealt with the knots in my back. It works and I use it daily.
KNQZE Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager, Neck Massager with Heat 4D Deep Tissue Kneading Massage for Back Leg, Full Body Muscle Pain Relief,
It's not THE most comfortable thing to wear, but it really helps my posture, and I'm convinced that years of slumping and sitting at a desk and typing threw me out of whack and contributed to my frozen shoulders.
Kepwaa Posture Corrector for Women
THE most helpful things for physical therapy exercises. I love them. They helped me to finally be able to hold my hands behind my back.

I literally had to start with the dinky 5 pound kettlebell after living with pain and not moving my arms much for months. These really helped and I'm still working my way up the weight scale.
Yes4All Vinyl Kettlebell, 5–100 Lb Strength Training Kettlebell | Solid Cast Iron Workout Weights, Wide Handle & Flat Base for Stable & Controlled Workouts
When you need gentle exercise, this is great. It stays on the door and I really think it helps with my range of motion, which isn't much but a lot better than it was.

This one is fun! Looks simple, but you can get a good burn with it, and strengthening muscles helps with frozen shoulder

Supplements
Please note I'm NOT a doctor or any kind of health professional. I consulted my own doctor when I started taking these supplements, as you should. I take all these and do exercises and stretches, so I can't absolutely swear that these alone are what'...
I use this when I just can't or don't want to take the pills. The flavor is too sweet but I dilute it in a little water and it really isn't too bad.
Nature's Way Joint Movement Glucosamine Liquid, Chondroitin, Berry, 16 oz | MSM with Vitamin D3 & Hyaluronic Acid, Fast-Absorbing Liquid, Joint Support Supplement*, Berry Flavored
Sometimes I take these if I run out of turmeric capsules. I don't take both together because you can overdo turmeric.
Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Joint Support Supplement for Women & Men 90 Ct | Shellfish-free
You have to take 3 a day but the big softgels go down surprisingly easy and you can space them out over the day. I'm older so I need help with my muscles anyway, but I've also noticed less pain when I take these.
HMB 1,000mg | 240 Softgels with Coconut Oil | Highly Bioavailable | HMB Supplements for Men & Women Supports Lean Muscle Mass & Muscle Recovery
Winter is dark here so I take this anyway, but D3 can help with inflammation, muscles and bone health

NOW Supplements, Vitamin C-500 Calcium Ascorbate, 250 Veg Caps
I like and trust this supplements brand and I think this helps with inflammation. I like that they include ingredients to help with digesting the turmeric.
