Sugegst Treatment For Frozen Shoulder

I have a frozen shoulder due to a bad fall, I was given gabapentin at pain clinic.I'm only on a low dose at moment,but does it work for a frozen shoulder. I took tramadol and paracetamol and it helped. I could move my shoulder a bit without being in agony

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist 's  Response
In my opinion gabapentin is for neuropathy problems like pain related to nerve inflamation or compression as sciatica
however it can help in shoulder pain if shoulder pain in radiating to your upper arm

If i were your doctor i would prescribe pain medication for 1 week
if it does not have a 100 cure effect on you , i will recommend physical therapy
Good Luck
