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!!!

Jim,

I've have tennis elbow in both arms and also am an avid golfer. Don't know if the Dups has any correlation to it or not. 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.

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!!

You sometimes have this problem it hurts a lot so i met with a Chiropractor and it helped so i would suggest the same consult an expert quickly.

A year ago this past August I had surgery in my right index finger for a lump that turned out to be Dupuytren’s. when I first noticed the lump on my left index finger the doctor said it was nothing. A year later it was bigger and I couldn’t straighten the finger. He insisted there was nothing there but did another MRI with contrast, saw the lump, and said he could remove it.

After surgery in recovery, he told me he knew what it was when he saw it and that if he knew before he wouldn’t have opened me up. Well I’m glad he did and that finger is in perfect shape.

The lump on the knuckle of my right index finger was written off as overuse of the computer mouse but I believed him even though I was skeptical. Yesterday after finding this site I learned it was Garrod’s pad.

When the lumps showed up on my arches I thought it had to be related but at first I couldn’t find anything mentioning Dupuytren’s. finally I found a site talking about plantar Fibromatosis and went to the foot doctor who confirmed my findings. He gave me a killer shot in the bottom of my foot and that worked out very well.

Now the shoulders.

The shoulders started to hurt so gradually that I didn’t notice. One started to get better and one got to the point where I couldn’t sleep. After the MRI came back negative for rotator cuff tears that pain was labeled as bursitis so I was sent off to physical therapy after a cortisone shot. The PT noticed that the symptoms were presenting to her more like a frozen shoulder however. Just like the Garrod’s pads, I found out yesterday that frozen shoulders can be related to Dupuytren’s though my orthopedist dismissed my findings.

Again, I’m glad I found this thread because my concern was that if a frozen shoulder was Dupuytren’s related that it might not resolve itself like a normal frozen shoulder. I’m going to check out the Asher therapy.

Thank you all so much!!!
