Anyone have any info or course of action concerning Parsonage Turner Syndrome (Scapular Winging) ? I have suffered with this for 4 yrs & am showing signs of atrophy. I have been unsuccessful in finding a medical doctor or any other "professional" that will be straight with me.

This is a VERY misleading video - Go read the medical research on frozen shoulders - generally they 'thaw' after 8 to 12 months. They are often triggered by another injury nearby and you can certainly get benefit from physical therapy - especially in the thaw stage as the muscles surrounding the capsule are very likely in bad shape after 6 months of trying to limit movement...

i have had a frozen shoulder since November 1st 2010 when i was in an auto vs 18 wheeler accident i have been to physical therapy, ART which is active release techniques i went to him for 3 mounts physical therapy for 6 months, now they say i meed shoulder manipulation while they put me to sleep. i dont hold out much hope, i only sleep about 3 hours a night and the pain is constant.

Massage therapy would help this

I think I have the beginnings of this. My doctor here in the UK just looked for symmetry in my shoulders and said I might have carpal tunnel. I hate the NHS. Unless your name is Duke of Edinburgh or QEII, nobody takes you seriously.

Massage therapy, specifically NeuroMuscular Therapy, would work well too.

Typical western medicine approach: if at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer! I had a frozen left shoulder and it ran its course without receiving any treatment in one year. Now my right shoulder has it, and although I may try some mild stretching, I'm confident it will resolve itself in time. I didn't see much improvement in the woman when she was on the show.

@kimkongaroo ouch!! pretty much the same as you, still have never been able to reach my back pocket, can't grip very well with my hand and it hurts to raise it over my head. feel the same as you about repeat manipulation, never again! pain meds worked for awhile but can't afford monthly Dr. appt. for refills, and like yourself, it's gonna be a long 2 yrs. the pully feels good until a couple of hours later....ouch! good luck to you, keep in touch.
