Could frozen shoulder be neurological
More from my google news browsing.
Amongst a whole pile of news releases about joint pain, arthritis and even a low blood pressure cure I found a press release from a chiropractic clinic in Dallas Texas where a doctor there has a theory that frozen shoulder is a nerve related condition and is not really due to the joint or bones afterall.
It says that research and patient outcome studies performed and published by Dr. Francis X. Murphy over the past 18 months clearly indicate that Frozen Shoulder Syndrome is a neurological condition rather than an orthopedic condition.
Dr Murphy has designed a new treatment called the MQR protocol = Murphy Quick Release for Frozen Shoulder. He’s claiming great success rates.
That’s some more homework for me to get my teeth into then !
Dr Murphy plans to train others how to do the techniques but for the moment you’ll need to travel to him in Dallas if you want to try it.
Let me know how you get on with it if you do go see him

I have been suffering arm pain from the shoulders down to the fingers. The pain is worse at night and my arm and hands go numb. I wake every few hours to put heat on my arms and take Aspirin. Doctors have not been helpful. One thing that seems to help is DHEA. I take 50mg a day. If it wasn’t for the DHEA I’d just have to shoot myself. I don’t know if I have frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia or something else but DHEA helps.

Never mind. I saw a chiopractor recently and with 3 treatments my pain and numbness are gone.

Thanks Pat
DHEA does seem to work OK for some but I read that it can also trigger side effects. As per my original post (and you might have guessed this from my browsing above) I also have problems from time to time with low blood pressure symptoms – not sure how DHEA would go with that.
