RE: [RC] Frozen shoulder - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Pat Bush kenpat@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hi Alison, I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder in Feb. of 2003. It was so bad that I couldn't lift or hardly move my shoulder. I was given a horribly painful shot in my shoulder joint and then went for physical therapy twice a week for six weeks and then once a week for another two months. I also had exercises to do at home twice a day. The therapist also used ultra sound on my shoulder. It took six months to be able to use it again. I have lost a small amount of mobility but there is no pain. I'm riding again with no problems. I now take 2000 mg of MSM daily. I'm not sure it helps but don't want to quit and take the chance of it returning even a little bit. Good luck, it will get better.

This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail. ~ Dr. Barney Flemming DVM ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
