Frozen Shoulder

[Uzoma]

I would genuinely appreciate some suggestions that would solve this issue, particularly to assist with sleeping at night.

So grateful for your kind ideas.

See if you can get your Gp to refer you for physio...then keep doing the exercises they suggest.
Take your painkillers regularly, not just when it hurts badly.
Try sleeping with a pillow under your arm...can sometimes help.
This will pass, but it can take a while .

Thanks so much for that, Ladyalex. I am genuinely truly grateful. Any other tips that come to mind, please don't hesitate.

ladyalex has given a full and informative answer and I have nothing more constructive to add.........it is good advice.

Stand a couple of feet away from the corner of a table, facing the table with legs slightly more than shoulder width apart. Put the hand of your 'good arm' on the corner of the table and lean forward so it supports your body weight, and so that the hand of your 'bad' arm (the one with the frozen shoulder) is hanging down. Let your bad arm just hang there. Do NOT swing your bad arm. GENTLY rotate your hips and upper body in a circular motion, similar to hula hooping in slow motion. You will notice that your hanging arm also rotates very gently in the same direction. Allow your hanging arm to move naturally. After a few rotations (between 10 and 20) pause for a few seconds, then rotate the hips and body in the opposite direction a similar number of times. SOURCE:http://www.wussu.com/various/frozen_sh

I hope the tips help, Uzoma.
The pillow underneath when sleeping really made a difference to me. The thing is to try not to despair...your shoulder will get better, but shoulders seem to take a long time.
Sorry for you. :-((
