Frozen shoulder, depression and Tamoxifen

Brandi999, I too had frozen shoulder, and mine was caused by the 9 hour diep surgery. Sarah, the physical therapist I see tried to work through it with little result and finally sent me to a orthopedist. Settled on having an injection of 80mgs Triamcinolone and 0.5% Marcaine and was warned about the risk of infection, steroidflare and persisting symptoms. Also had a chat about manipulation under anaesthetic but decided to reserve this for if things don't work out with the injection. The injection did it, out of pain, I progressed fairly fast and did not require a surgical release and continued on with physio to full recovery, within a few months. I've read of many frozen shoulders arising via reconstruction, particularly diep. There was no way I could continue to feel so painful and miserable - to accept as normal, so little range of movement and reduced usage of my left arm for 18 months while it resolved on it's own.

I have not taken Tamoxifen so I have no comment on that yet, my PTSD, depression, anxiety and inability to move on was helped by a psychologist and she used this: EMDR (click this to read what it is) and was able move me on, over the course of several weeks. I really hope you find relief soon and not have to suffer in pain.
