I had almost the same experience as you, lilacbirman, except I was in PT twice a week for 8 sessions and once a week for 8 more sessions. I suffered for 11 months before finally going to the Dr. He said PT wouldn't help and that I should have manipulation. I have no regrets having it. I hope I don't develop it in my right shoulder, but if I do, I know what to do.

@tripoddi It's great your shoulder turned out well after going with the manipulation. There are many forms of treatment for this malady and I am simply saying from my clinical experience that a MUA should be the last resort. Now I say this "assuming" you have access to a therapist who knows what he/she is doing, and "assuming" that if you're getting good advice, you're following it. The black and white is that a MUA does cause trauma AND you have to be put under...Must weigh risk vs benefit..

I didn't know it was the last resort, but that it was an option. Before my initial appt., I read up on MUA online and knew of some of the risks. But I knew 3 other women who had this procedure by this same Dr., all with good results, so I trusted that all would go well. Thankfully, my MUA was uneventful. We all went to different PTs, though, for different lengths of time, but everything worked out for all of us. Whew!

I had this done about 6-8 years ago and did not realize it should be the last option. I could not bring my left arm higher than my lower chest, after the manipulation I had some soreness for a couple of days. I was in PT for about 5-6 weeks, 3x a week plus did daily home therapy on my off days. My left shoulder has had NO problems since. Unfortunately my right shoulder now has frozen shoulder but will try home PT for a few months. Interesting video.
