does estrogen help frozen shoulder - #26881
I am really confused about my shoulder situation. A few months ago, I started having this nagging pain in my shoulder, and, well, after a ton of tests, they diagnosed me with frozen shoulder. It's super frustrating! I've been doing physical therapy, but the pain is still there, and movement feels stiff. Now, along with the pain, I've heard some chatter that maybe estrogen might help frozen shoulder? Like, does estrogen help frozen shoulder? A friend mentioned that hormonal changes can play a role in recovery, but I don't really know what that means for me. I'm already a bit older, and I definitely don't want to complicate things further. Just last week, I was at this appointment where the doctor was talking about hormones affecting inflammation, but he didn't go into much detail. Should I consider getting my hormone levels checked? Could estrogen supplements be beneficial? I mean, does estrogen help frozen shoulder? Or would it be pointless? Ugh, I just feel overwhelmed and have so many questions. I feel stuck and not sure if I should just wait this out, keep pushing through therapy or look into hormonal treatments. Thanks for any insights!
