RE: [RC] Frozen shoulder - Ridecamp Guest

Hi Alison,

I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder in Feb. of 2003.  It was so
bad that I couldn't lift or hardly move my shoulder.  I was given
a horribly painful shot in my shoulder joint and then went for physical therapy 
twice a week for six weeks and then once a week for another two months.  I also 
had exercises to do at home twice a day. The therapist also used ultra sound on 
my shoulder. It took six months to be able to use it again. I have lost a small 
amount of mobility but there is no pain.  I'm riding again with no problems.  I 
now take 2000 mg of MSM daily.  I'm not sure it helps but don't want to quit 
and take the chance of it returning even a little bit.  Good luck, it will get 
better.

This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't
have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with
a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never
let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail.
