Locked Joints   Message List

Hello All,

I was recently diagnosed with RSD after a fracture to my right humerus.
The main reason I was diagnosed so quickly is because after I was taken
out of my sling, my fingers were immoble & I am unable to make a fist
or straighten my fingers. My elbow is also locked & I'm unable to
straighten my arm or bend my arm up to touch my shoulder. Also, my
shoulder is frozen & I can only raise my arm slightly. I cannot raise
it above my head & whatnot. Anyway, I wanted to ask if anyone here had
frozen/locked joints before & how were you able to get them moving? I
am in physical therapy. I've been going for a few weeks now but we've
only been able to make very very little progress with it. When you had
this problem, what combination helped you get better ... Physical
Therapy, medication, nerve blocks, etc.? I am scheduled for a nerve
block next week & right now I'm on a muscle relaxant which isn't doing
anything at all for it. Any help or advice would be greatly
appreciated!
