I injured my shoulder in September 2018, and when it didn’t heal on its own but instead became frozen, I saw a doctor in late November 2018, who started me on PT at another place. They got me back to 80% mobility by January 2019, when my PT ended. However, I never got back to full mobility and also continued with mild pain. On October 21, 2019, I attended a talk by Denise Schwartz on shoulder pain at which she mentioned that such pain could also be caused by injury to the bicep tendon. Her description matched exactly what I was feeling and what I suspected had occurred, even though my previous PT person and the doctor had insisted the only issue was my shoulder. I started PT with Denise in November 2019. Working with her has improved my mobility immensely and my pain is almost completely gone. I can now even wear a stretch fleece pullover shirt I haven’t been able to put on or take off since my injury because I can finally remove it easily without any help!
