does anyone have dibilitating arthritis-HOW do u cope?

Ive been dealing with the so-called frozen shoulder. Its excrutiating pain-at times a 9 on 1-10 scale. 1st thing in the morning I CANNOT literally move my arm. Its not just arthritis but super tight muscles that spasm>then pinch the nerve(s).

It know its inflammation;therfore icing it is good;but 1st thing in morning its too stiff and im too cold to ice it. I also use SO many other topical things ie, 'Theraworx magnesium foam, topiricin homeopathic pain relief, essential oil w/massage. Sometimes massage over stimulates the mucslez which then spasm even more!

Im trying to stay away from ibuprofen due to the high liklihood of stroke. Ive been using ibuprofen for YEARS for migraine and sinus pain, so Im concerned about adverse effects.

WHAT else works for pain???

Ive had it today

Oh great news RE: physical therapy.

I have poor R.O.M., but no weakness per se. At this point the pain is causing the ROM.

But, Ill most def. Call my P.T.

Bvt has eliminated by excruciating arthritis ....i was suicidal from the bone pain
