But first, coffee

I had a review appointment at Salford today, this time for my frozen shoulder.

Traffic was kind, so I had plenty of time to sit and enjoy a nice coffee when I got there.

Keyhole surgery had been mentioned previously, but the consultant felt this wasn’t in my best interest given the fact my range of motion is ‘better than most patients I see’. Steroid injections were also declined as I’m not in pain.

Frozen shoulders evidently cure themselves over time, so he felt I am over the worst and should just ride it out as I am coping well with the discomfort. He’s arranged another review in 4 months time to see how I’m getting on.

It’s inconvenient and frustrating not to be able to fully move my arm, but after what I’ve been through with my leg, I’m kind of relieved surgery is off the cards. ;-)
