Hydrodilation For Frozen Shoulder

[237SJ]

Has anyone here had this? I know it is quite successful but I would be interested in personal experiences.

The 'comments' section on the NHS website might be of interest to you, as people who've had (or stil have) a frozen shoulder have reported on what has, or hasn't, worked for them. (Only one specifically mentions hydrodilation but the alternatives mentioned by others might also be worth thinking about):

237SJ.

I have no personal experiences with this, I don't know anyone who has been treated in this way, but one thing that comes to mind after reading the technique.........bloody painful.

The treatment I had from a physio was very painful (having my arm pushed back further than I thought possible until tears were in my eyes, but worked eventually.
Trouble is a few months later I tried to swat a fly and it jarred my shoulder again!

Sorry, I know mine was hydrodilation- I was just saying this is not the only treatment for frozen shoulder that is painful

FF...LOL....I know what you mean, but there is pain and there is pain.

If i am going to suffer, the last thing that i would choice is a needle in my shoulder joint followed by 20 mls of salt solution.

However...your point is well taken.

The physio has mentioned a few times that this is the treatment these days. I`m not too bothered about the pain. I nearly fell down an escalator a few weeks ago and instictively reached back to grab my suitcase which was going down with me and I wrenched the bad shoulder. It hurt so much that I was shaking afterwards. It can`t be worse than that. Anyway, I think they might use local anaesthetic.
