I know that is soooo painful. I went to physical therapy and although the therapy was almost unbearable, it worked! I had a complete recovery and now my shoulder never bothers me.

Our G-Pa Bob has a frozen shoulder too. Too many years of football in his youth and now, he's fallen on it many times. When he was in the rehab home (many, many months ago) they really worked on that shoulder and he did great! Since he's been home from there, he refuses to do any exercises so it's frozen again. We love the idea of the water therapy in the hospital on the hill by the vineyard. (Maybe some wine would help! Mommy said that, not us.)<br /><br />We know that with lots of hard work and determination, Mom will get that shoulder unstuck and functional once again. It's just gonna take more time.<br /><br />Keep up all that lovin' Tootsie. That's the BEST medicine in the world!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Lily Belle & Muffin Lovable Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334319227413238489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4292536297693153512.post-33513922526153585582015-02-02T05:22:04.601-08:002015-02-02T05:22:04.601-08:00I had a frozen shoulder several years back (I had ...I had a frozen shoulder several years back (I had dogs to thank for that) and rehab was the ticket. Terribly painful!

Oh it must be so frustrating, especially for one so active. But we know that she would be so much worse were it not for you and your wonderful Dachshund Daddy. <br />Gail and I are sending our love and best wishes, plus lots of (appropriately gentle hugs) to both of you.<br />Toodle pip!<br />Bertie. <br />PS We thought we were going to lose Human Granny on Friday night, but she seems to be recovering a bit, although she is still in hospital and very poorly. The latest medical term we have learned is "viral encephalitis" (we already knew pneumonia, heart failure and Parkinsonism). I am going to ban Gail from taking that stress test right now, even though she is British!

And yes, anxiety about anxiety is just as bad. I can see why she is stressed. Chronic pain is one of the leading causes of stress. I remember reading about a study of chronically ill patients who were in constant pain ...when they were given direct control over their pain medication their stress level (and pain) decreased. That's why many hospitals now let patients hold the button that increases or decreases their pain medication - because it gives them some control. Interesting.<br /><br />I like your mom's approach of being mindful of the pain ...that could apply to many difficult and stressful areas of life. I think we might try this approach, too.
