What happened to your shoulder? I ended up getting adhesive encpsulitis (frozen shoulder) in both of mine due to the diabetus. Sucks rocks. Lots of PT and one session with an intentional dislocation got me to where I can do most stuff without pain.

I throw like a girl now.

But at least I can scratch my ass again.

They're thinking it's frozen shoulder on my end, too. Basically my left shoulder has little movement and hurts very badly most all the time. Makes sleeping really, really hard. And it makes working out hard, too (as I can't, say, jog or lift weights). I can't even type all that well, as I have to mainly type with my right hand (ooo la la!).

Hopefully things can be fixed up. So far, so good.

And it can be caused by diabetes?? I never even knew (nor has that been mentioned).

Yup - same symptoms here. Just the weight of my arm hanging off my shoulder caused it to hurt. My range of motion was down to almost single digits, I couldn't reach my hand to my back pocket, and even lifting it to my front pocket hurt. Driving a stick was hell ( ... )

Yeah, thanks, man! And thanks for the valuable information. This is actually more than my doctor knows... then again, I tend to know more about diabetes than my doctor, and his receptionist is a real piece of work-- so I'll probably find a new doc (or just do what everyone seems to do here and just drop in at the clinic for check-ups plus have an endocrinologist). They is a good physical therapist I can be put in touch with, so that's good ( ... )

The best stretching exercise is also quite simple. Basically you take a rope and put it over a pulley. Attach the pulley to the top of a doorframe and sit against the door with your back flat. Hold one end of the rope in your bad arm straight out in front of you, and use the other one to pull it upwards. Do that 20-30 times every evening and you'll at least be able to sleep.

It stretches the muscles/tendons and also warms them up which helps a lot with the pain.

I may still have my old rig. I can send it to you if you'd like.

That would be fantastic, thanks! I can hook you up with shipping and stuff, of course.
