My shoulder hurts every day and both have been frozen for years. My hands still are ultra sensitive to cold and are sore with use, but shoulder is most painful.

I wanted another MRI, but doctor is suggesting going back to doctors who consulted on first one to follow up and suggest more therapy or treatment and maybe another EMG(number 10). I wish he would do another MRI to check on other possible injuries or worsening from a year ago. I'm tired of hundreds of therapy that are too far away(drive kills my shoulder) and don't offer much relief.

Sorry to vent.

I didn't realize your shoulders have been frozen for years, how terrible.
No therapy has helped much for you?
Drs haven't suggested manipulation under anesthesia?

I hated having to drive to PT when I was still working, it just added to the sx. After I was off work then I was closer to the PT places.

Did they ever try low level laser on the shoulders for you?
Or the LED lights like Broken wings uses?
Or even the far infrared heating pad or lights?

Although none of the PT places I went to had them - it was the chiropractor, but maybe some other healing places might have them too.
the LED pads/lights you can get without a drs rx.
far infra red heating pads are no rx needed as well as the lights, but they do cost a bit.

Shelley had frozen shoulder about a 1.5?yrs ago, you might do a search for what she found to help hers. Or just send her a PM, might be simpler..

I think I don't complain enough. On the frozen shoulder, I was told that the frozen shoulders usually resolve themselves over time. My haven't. It has been about 3 years. I am tired of therapy and tests that show many problems. This one time I asked for MRI because I feel something else may be wrong and last time I didn't get clear answers, but I got denied.

I am just tired of it. I never complain and just hoped the one time I requested something it would be allowed. I accepted the injuries but want to know for sure what is wrong.

Quite a few on the whole site here have had frozen shoulders - maybe there posts will give some ideas.
hope the link to the whole forum search results works -

I'm kind of surprised your Dr isn't following up this more, 3 yrs is a long time to deal with something like that.

Maybe time for a new or different Dr? Or give one more chance and ask for help for it, or a referral, if dr has no idea about what to do...

Sometimes we need to be blunt and speak up about what we need.
If they won't listen- move on...
