Yesterday I saw a new Rheumatologist who diagnosed my frozen shoulder as
Milwaukee shoulder or pseudo gout and prescribed .06 gr. of Colchicine, and
physical therapy. Anyone with the similar experience?

lol - just for about ten months of pt this year - i've only been out of pt for
a short time - had lost 90% function, and now have close to 90% back...it'll
do, given that the only other option was surgery. i'm extremely lucky that it
looks like i don't have any really serious scarring of the rotators.

this is my second go round in ten years,

good luck!

Ahhh!!psuedogout...I thought I was the only one with this.... I was
prescribed Colchicine also...The last flare I had with it was in my
knee...The doctor drained fluid off my knee and prescribed the med...It made
me sick at my stomach so I quit taking it...But I haven't had anymore big
time flares...I think that when my joints are hurting, that it is the
psuedogout along with the arthritis I have...
Too bad we can't just change our diets to make it better...
Or maybe we are lucky that we don't have to stop eating the things that we
like...
Praying that your shoulder is better quickly
