Where can medicine for 'Frozen shoulder' caused by diabeties be bought??

Question

My father suffers from 'frozen shoulder' which causes a Parkinson-like effect to his arm. It can be quite painful at times and suffers a lot. Inflamtion spreads through his body and he can be ill for quite some time.

Answer 1

I wanted to add that physical therapy is also sometimes prescribed along with pain relief. There is debate as to if this is beneficial or not.

Surgery, as mentioned, is also another option in some cases.

The condition usually does resolve on its own, although it may reoccur and become chronic.

No one quite knows if the condition is directly caused by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or autoimmunity (in the case of Type 1 diabetics), but regardless, good control of blood sugars will help with healing, so tight control is recommended either way.

There are drugs available to help with inflammatory pain, but he can also try adding Omega 3 essential fatty acids to his diet.

This is a natural supplement that acts as an anti-inflammatory. People with autoimmune and/or inflammatory conditions (including diabetes) are often deficient in it.

Salmon, flaxseed, and olive oil are part of an anti-inflammatory diet, which may help.

Work alongside his doctor, and explore all options. Unfortunately, there is no easy "cure" or fix for this condition.

Answer 2

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

How is a frozen shoulder treated?

The treatment of a frozen shoulder usually requires an aggressive combination of anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injection(s) into the shoulder, and physical therapy. Without aggressive treatment, a frozen shoulder can be permanent.

Diligent physical therapy is often key and can include ultrasound, electric stimulation, range of motion exercise maneuvers, ice packs, and eventually strengthening exercises. Physical therapy can take weeks to months for recovery, depending on the severity of the scarring of the tissues around the shoulder.

It is very important for persons with a frozen shoulder to avoid reinjuring the shoulder tissues during the rehabilitation period. These individuals should avoid sudden, jerking motions of or heavy lifting with the affected shoulder.

Sometimes frozen shoulders are resistant to treatment. Patients with resistant frozen shoulders can be considered for release of the scar tissue by arthroscopic surgery or manipulation of the scarred shoulder under anesthesia. This manipulation is performed to physically break up the scar tissue of the joint capsule. It carries the risk of breaking the arm bone (humerus fracture). It is very important for patients that undergo manipulation to partake in an active exercise program for the shoulder after the procedure. It is only with continued exercise of the shoulder that mobility and function is optimized.

"What causes a frozen shoulder?

Frozen shoulder is the result of inflammation, scarring, thickening and shrinkage of the capsule that surrounds the normal shoulder joint. Any injury to the shoulder can lead to frozen shoulder, including tendinitis, bursitis, and rotator cuff injury. Frozen shoulders occur more frequently in patients with diabetes, chronic inflammatory arthritis of the shoulder, or after chest or breast surgery. Long-term immobility of the shoulder joint can put persons at risk to develop a frozen shoulder."

Answer 5

Frozen shoulder is usually treated by manipulation. Usually the patient is put under general anesthetic and the adhesions are broken down. NSAIDS (nonsteroidal antiinflammatory meds) and other meds can help with the pain. Encourage him to talk to his surgeon or physician.
