Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have another horrid frozen shoulder developing (I had one about 8 years ago which was probably around the start of my thyroid problems). I have just been googling and found a suggestion that frozen shoulders can be linked to thyroid disease. Has anyone else come across this,or indeed, had a frozen shoulder? Another forum user wrote that adding T3 cured her frozen shoulder. I am currently taking 4 Nutri Thyroid tablets a day (I believe NT is the equivalent of T4). Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks folks. Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yes, when things started to go wrong with me (stopped converting) I had all kinds of things happening to me, amongst which was both shoulders frozen. I spent weeks with a physio, on traction and all kinds of things that didn't work. In the end I had an operation to sort out both shoulders. I am OK now but still get pain now and again when the shoulders are in certain positions. Whether T3 would have cured it I do not know, because I didn't know anything about T3 let alone NDT then.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I had a frozen shoulder about 18 months ago. The worst the GP had " seen that year " . Had a steroid injection which worked wonderfully thank goodness (although very unpleasant for a few days after the injection) Extremely debilitating condition. Lucky it cleared up so easily. Still get joint pain on and off - but then again, I do have an allotment with heavy soil... I've also found ibuprofen really effective, but don't take it very often.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I had a frozen shoulder, couldnt lift my arm to brush my hair. Went to osteopath and we tracked it back to my falling 14 months earlier. Trying to ease the fall with my outstretched arm and the palm of my hand which when I hit the ground shunted my arm deep into the shoulder - he eased it out. No problem since. If you have had a fall - this may be what is causing the problem. F > > > > Hi > I used to get this regularly before I was on T3. Painkillers barely made any difference.

The first time I had a steroid injection which didn't seem to do much good and the second time I started taking T3 and it went away with all my other joint problems. > > > Hi > > > just wondering if anyone else has endured a frozen shoulder (linked to thyroid problems) and if so, what is your experience of treating it? > > > many thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
