I can concur. I would get excruciating electric shocks coursing down my arm leaving it paralysed for a few seconds whenever my arm would swing backwards. I had to get help getting dressed and even pulling my pants up after the toilet. My Dr didn't even suggest pt or medication. I just had to wait it out. Took 2 years to defrost.

Mine was good about setting up PT and it wasn't until the PT guy said that he was concerned it was getting worse that I broke down and got the shot. He did make sure I had an orthopedist do it and it was a huge needle but it really didn't hurt with topical and the way they had me positioned.
