How do you rep a frozen shoulder? Husband of a patient has just got one and is on pain killers and doctor reckons nothing can be done!! He can't move it!! Bryonia? I have had most success with EFT with this condition but don't know if he would be open to it!!

Stiffness of shoulders, paralysis of shoulders, paralysis of single parts (Causticum e.g.), paralytic pain, then rep in any possible causation, type of pain and modalities, you know the usual case taking routine

Rochelle-

As Joy suggests it is the regular case taking again-
Give particular attention to the location, modalities, extensions and sidedness...

Causticum, Rhus, Ruta are very common to come across...

I have used Chel, Sanguinaria, Syphilinum, Strontia carb for this...

Consider Helonias for this associated with diabetes

For the really frozen and fixed shoulder Thiosinaminum can help ( I have not used it - though a friend of mine has prescribed for some cases)

Shoulder paralytic pain, paralyzed feeling, lameness, rheumatism are some of the rubrics...Rubrics around deltoid ( shoulder pain tender to touch and motion - Sang ) are apt...As mentioned above look for specific left and right sided frozen shoulder...and if the pain is worse by lifting arm, taking the hand to the back, walking, lying on it etc.

Louis I remember posted about a combination of Caust and Ruta or Rhus prescribed by an Indian doctor that had worked well for her.

Exercises are really great help along side, to whatever extent it is possible... even when painful persist with the exercises

is it acute or chronic?

Thanks for that- I believe it is acute and recently come on. I still don't know if he will agree to see me. His wife is bringing her daughter to me for a follow up this afternoon so we will discuss it further then. I have found this rubric in Murphy's. I hadn't looked because I didn't expect it to be there!!!

I forgot to mention Ferrum met and Ferrum phos and Aurum

Ferrum helps a lot in these cases. Read the MM for indications

Isn't it adhesion (and in early stages also inflammation) rather than anything to do with paralysis?

Thanks - I will read Ferrum up!!

Pain, stiffness and adhesions, yes, but lots of times they create a feeling of paralysis and paresis-

Sensations need to guide us and it is more the sensation created by these adhesions that would guide us rather than the adhesions themselves

And you can get a 'frozen shoulder' from shock, trauma of the emotional kind.

Absolutely and that is why EFT works so well as I have used it a few times on people with frozen shoulders with instant results!!! All were people I came across in the gym and did it in the changing rooms or in an office for 1 reception staff member who was booked to have a steroid injection the following day!
