You need to take pain meds like ibuprofen etc but you need to ice it and go to physiotherapy to learn to get your mobility back.
Frozen shoulder will generally get better on its own. However, this takes some time, occasionally up to two to three years. Treatment is aimed at pain control and restoring motion.
Pain control can be achieved with anti-inflammatory medications. These can include pills taken by mouth, such as ibuprofen, or by injection, such as corticosteroids.
Physical therapy is used to restore motion. This may be under the direct supervision of a physical therapist or via a home program. Therapy includes stretching or range-of-motion exercises for the shoulder. Sometimes, heat is used to help decrease pain.
I assume you have already had a x-ray and all was normal? Sometimes you can have calcification build up, like me and then no amount of drugs, injections or PT will help. In that situation you need to avail of the Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), Lithotripsy. Best of Luck
Vicodin knocks out the pain, but it has side effects for most people (for me, headaches, nausea, heart palpitations). Percoset didn’t touch the pain. Ultram took the edge off the pain, with no side effects. So that’s what I’m on now. Also xanax helps for some reason… it’s not a pain killer but a tranquilizer. I started taking it so I could sleep at night, but check w/ your physician because it’s addictive… and Frozen Shoulder lasts a long time. I’m scheduled to have a Manipulation Under Anesthesia soon… can’t wait it out – I have to get back to living. I can’t even make up a bed or drive with both hands. I’ve had FS for 5 months now and I’ve exhausted everything under the sun, and nothing has helped… it’s just gotten worse. GL with yours, I know it’s absolutely horrendous pain.
