Re: Re: Article - Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

This is an old message. I am so far behind.

My daughter (HEDS) has a permanent numb area on her back that goes from her

neck to under her scapula and about 7 inches wide. Does this sound like it

would be seen with Adhesive Capsulitis?

It happened when she rolled over in bed incorrectly in August and it has

been numb since. They are just now advising pt; and have not yet done a mri

or a sonar; only a xray which showed nothing. I know that those things are

needed but we are on Medicaid and as difficult as it is to get someone to

treat us... It just got a whole lot harder.

Any thoughts on how she can deal with this on her own? I cant massage it as

my thumbs dislocate.
