11/26/07 18:28 phil	Re: FROZEN SHOULDER Just an update on my treatment for frozen shoulder.On my last visit,my osteopaph assessed the shoulder to be 95%+ recovered.I no longer experience pain or restriction of movement.So here`s a therapy that has got a result in quiuck time 5 treatments and limited expense-The Niel-Asher Therapy.Shame it`s not the same for dups.On that score, I return to Essen for an assessment on my treated left hand this Dec.Also,I will have my feet and untreated right hand examined to see whether or not treatment is now necessary.In the meantime,I am taking NAC twice a day and maintaining a dairy and meat free diet with only limited consumption of Alchohol(red wine).I check this forum most days and find it a valuable source of information.I look forward to the results of the Auxilium trials being made available.In the meantime we do have Radiotherapy and NA- things could be alot worse!!!

I tried the traditional treatments including getting strapped into a device that can only be compared to "the rack". I found Neil-Asher site on the web and since I traveled to London on business I gave it a go. I was treated by the man himself in his Highgate clinic. I only had one treatment and can attest that it's painful, just as you described. I bought his book and showed it to my physical therapist in California. The one treatment was all I needed to get me over the hump. I regained full range of motion and am pain free. What struck me as odd is I also have Dupuytren's on both hands. I never knew there was an association. Wow. I am suffering "tennis elbow" in might right arm even though I don't play tennis. I have golfed for over 50 years so I am not sure if that would suddenly give rise to tennis elbow. I believe that progression of dupuytren's in my right hand (ring finger particularly) has put pressue on the tendons / ligaments that attache to the elbow and have led to the imflamation in my elbow. I wonder if anyone else has experience with this? Jim

But golfing certainly aggravates it. Had a cortizone shot in my left arm and it helped immensely. Didn't bother with the right because it was preety mild. Has gotten a lot worse as of late so my next trip to the MD I'll have one there as well.
11/03/08 23:28 jimh	Re: FROZEN SHOULDER I have Dupuytren's (both hands) and had a frozen shoulder (once, a couple of years ago) . About 20 years ago, I had tennis elbow; it cleared up and never returned. That was long before my Dupuytren's symptoms appeared. I don't think there's a connection.
11/12/08 22:29 phil	Re: FROZEN SHOULDER Hi Jim- Glad to see you like me have found the Niel Asher Technique to be so effective for treating frozen shoulder.After my treatments-I have been clear of the problem for over a year.And no drugs or surgical interventions-an alternative therapy that really does work!!Sorry for delay in posting a reply -just back in the UK from Essen-saw Prof Seegenschmiedt for a follow up-yearly-and fortunately no treatment necessary this time!!
