Still dealing with this frozen shoulder.
Doc gave me some Voltaren gel which is a NSAID gel. Anyone have any experience with it? Also I do take cellebrex (NSAID) and wondering if I should use the gel sparingly? Neither doc nor pharmacist could really address this. |

Aaackkk Shelley! Sorry about the frozen shoulder.
Haven't heard of that treatment, but I truly hope it helps! Sending you some warm rays of sunshine to thaw things out for you!

Frozen shoulder is a tendon problem.
The topical gels do not appreciably get absorbed. But if you use a topical, I would think that an oral type is not necessary. Frozen shoulder is a different animal....if not associated with an injury...oral Celebrex would have little effect I would think. I'll look this up for you...and get back.

I think you could explore physical therapy. Ultrasound and/or IFC can help perhaps. It did for me when I had my hip tendon injury 3 yrs ago.
NSAIDs are not great for healing: http://everythingaboutortho.wordpres...ament-healing/ Notice the negative effects listed for Celebrex? Increasing silica in the diet may help...choosing foods high in silica can strengthen ligaments. But once scar tissue is there, I don't know of a way other than surgery (which is problematic) that will help that or remove it.
