Members responded to a question about frozen shoulders caused by inflammation, with many sharing that they have dealt with similar pain in one or both shoulders, often linked to MS, spasticity, falls, or overuse. Several members recommended physical therapy as the most helpful treatment, with one sharing they regained full use of their shoulder after sticking with PT, while others mentioned steroid injections, therapeutic massage, and topical lidocaine for temporary relief. A recurring theme was that frozen shoulder is painful and frustrating, but staying consistent with stretching and treatment can bring meaningful improvement.
