What Causes Painful Shoulder Along With Restricted Movement In A Diabetic Patient?

Dear Doctor
I am a 60 year old woman who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 3 years ago! In May 2013 I started Urine therapy both ingesting my own urine and daily massage before I shower everyday. Two months ago, my right shoulder began to hurt! Movement is a bit restricted. I hope its not FROZEN shoulder. Will Urine therapy still help me? Or do i have to go through painful Pysiotherapy?

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It appears to be frozen shoulder.
2. It is commonly seen in elderly and more commonly with diabetes. Clinical examination of shoulder and MRI necessary to rule out any associated pathology.
3. Yes, you will require physiotherapy along with mild exercises.
4. I am not sure about urine therapy, but not advisable. It is not sterile and contains chemicals which are supposed to be discarded. Risk of infection, especially with diabetes is present. Control blood sugar within normal range. Also mild exercises, weight reduction, and multiple small meals will be helpful. Medication to be continued regularly.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
