Frozen shoulder

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am 48 and so far no sign of peri or menopause.
I have suffered from a deep depression/burn out for the last five years, so maybe some signs have been hidden by the depression itself and I am indeed in peri (I have no idea).

For the last few weeks I've been suffering from a frozen shoulder out of nowhere and wonder if it can be related to menopause ?

Thanks for your help, have a great day

Typical at this age. It will go away but can take time. Google it. Lots of info out there.

I’m not sure why you don’t just treat the frozen shoulder instead of worrying about menopause. You are in your late 40s so yes you are having hormonal changes and yes frozen shoulders are more common in midlife. Not sure what else you want. FWIW I had two frozen shoulders in my early-mid 40s (when my cycle was still totally regular) and currently I am well into peri but have totally rehabbed my shoulders with PT and lifting, much stronger now than at 40.

Op here. Yes, I am treating the frozen shoulder, I've had one infiltration and I am about to start seeing a physical therapist.

I was just wondering if it was related to menopause because I might have avoided some signs because of depression and if peri's already here I know I should see my gyn.

Dude you are 48 - obviously your hormones are changing. It is inevitable. What do you think your gyn is going to tell you?

Mine healed a lot quicker with help from Gentle Touch Chiropractic - he does a dynamic stretching technique that helped me a lot.

It will take 6 months to fix via PT twice a week.

You should see your gyn annually regardless.

Your case is pretty typical. I will take about a year to get better. Do PT and stretch exercises.

Doesn't always heal - I did PT for over a year and eventually had to have surgery.
