Vaccine and “frozen shoulder”

I hope you get it figured out and recover. I also hope other issues don't creep up.

You folks that had to vax up for work, should be able to sue.

Had this in both shoulders at different times. For me can't necessarily link it to the flu vax.
Eventually had injections in each shoulder along with PT type exercise. In a short period of time (for each shoulder) regained full use and range of motion for each shoulder.

If it's frozen shoulder, progressive, scheduled range of motion exercises are very important. PT can provide passive motion machines, and those can be helpful. The key is taking it step-by-step or you'll re-inflame the area and set yourself back.

That's what's known's as being "given the cold shoulder."

Typically, frozen shoulder starts in one shoulder and heals with proper exercises in 8-12 months. Then it may do the same in the other shoulder, but not usually both shoulders at the same time, or even overlapping.

First shoulder happened to me in 2018. Thought for sure I had a torn rotator cuff, but Orthopedic Surgeon diagnosed it right away. Fluctuating levels of pain and shifts in the primary source of pain over about 12 months. Had two cortisone shots and did specific exercises as directed by orthopedic surgeon.

About a year after my left shoulder had healed, it started in my right shoulder. Didn't even bother going to the doctor. Knew exactly what it was and just did the same exercises as before. 12 months later I was back to normal. Very strange that it actually "works its way through" over 9-12 months. With either shoulder, if I had been arrested and had to put my hands behind my back, it would have been excruciating pain beyond description.

I’ve got a niece that has the frozen shoulder after getting the vax. The shot went into the affected shoulder. She’s in the health care profession and was pretty much mandated to get the vax.

She’s been on prednisone for a month, off it for a month, and so on until she can get the MRI done after the holidays to see what’s going on.

I had this years ago. It was unbelievably painful. Physical therapy and time did make it better. Probably took 6-10 weeks.

Jimmy Dore had this as a vaccine injury, if not his shoulder, it was his neck.

I do know someone who said their shoulder was sore the day after they got the latest Pfizer vaccine. I've had three Pfizer vaccines so far and one Moderna without any issues. I wouldn't worry about it too much if I was you.
