Relief

I really appreciate what I learned from this thread!

In the last couple weeks I've been experiencing pain in my right shoulder (I'm left-handed, so this matches the profile for diabetic shoulder). It was really bad at night, it was affecting my sleeping, and I was starting to have real problems with mobility.

Then I was diagnosed with T2 and I found this forum and I found this thread and I realized what was going on. It never even occurred to me to mention this symptom to my dr. So, after reading these posts I've been stretching the shoulder frequently. I've also changed my diet quite aggressively and I'm walking every day and, of course, drinking lots of water. I also take MSM, which may or may not be helping, but the shoulder is now (just a few days later) almost pain free. Without any meds or pain killers whatsoever. (Unless you count the MSM, which I've been taking since Christmas.)

Thanks, everyone!!!
