Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi all, In case this could help someone else...For years I have had pain in my right shoulder. When I began candida treatment around 18 months ago the pain increased significantly and I had a lot of cramping in my arm. The pain was worse during die-off. My attempts to get help from both a chiropractor and an osteopath were a waste of time and money. I had figured that because the discomfort felt like a cramp and there were knots in my shoulder, that the problem was due to magnesium deficiency and would go away when the candida was gone. I had heard of frozen shoulder because my mother had the condition as a result of an injury. I had thought that an injury was required, but actually it is very common among diabetics. Some believe that magnesium deficiency causes the frozen shoulder as well as the insulin resistance in diabetics. I happen to have abnormally high blood sugar if I eat much carbs (I'm not quite diabetic though). My point here is that if you have problems with shoulder pain, it could be caused by the magnesium deficiency that comes with candida. The treatment is exercise (stretching as well as strengthening). There are internet sites that show the exercises (for free). I actually purchased an e-book written by a physical therapist for $30 (the cost of one chiropractor visit) http://www.frozenshouldertherapy.com/. You could also have your doc recommend a therapist. It's important to do the exercises daily for a period of months to get healed. I'm just thrilled to finally have a name and treatment for this condition.
