Shoulder
My shoulder troubles are still not gone. Actually they have got worse. According to the MRI I have torn a tendon, and my physiotherapist suspects I have a “frozen shoulder” as well. If that is really the case, and I have almost all symptoms, that means I’m heading for a long and slow recovery. According to several Internet sites a frozen shoulder takes between 4 to 12 months to heal. It especially hurts during the night and in the morning after tossing and turning in my sleep. Sometimes I even wake up swearing from the severe pain that I endure when I make certain movements. Fortunately when I’m in rest it just hurts a little. But I can write off my plans to start climbing this summer. And making furniture is also not possible at the moment, since I can’t lift anything heavier than 5 kilo.
I try to do my daily regime of exercises with a ball and various rubber bands, but it hurts like hell. And the thought of many more months like this is not very uplifting.

Not funny at all! Beterschap (and keep going on the exercises).

I had a frozen shoulder and it took more than a year because of my docter, she suggested it was stress and finally I ended with inflammations from my finger till my back
I had to take a very heavy drug to kill the pain
so please let me suggest you go to an doctor and ask for cortico steroids
it helped to recover and a year later it started in my right shoulder, I got two injections (they don’t hurt) and it was gone

It’s probably a slow injury caused by the bike accident I had on 7 June 2005. I tendon was partially torn and the built up of inflamation and me not using the arm as much as normal because of the pain, caused the frozen shoulder.
