The computer program i have on my work computer that forces me to take a break also shows stretches etc to do whilst I’m taking a break i do as best i can. I’ll add a massage to the regime.
What with arm exercises, eye exercises, leg exercises i’ll have no time for work 
it’s no wonder I’m exhausted xx

I’ll back @Steevo_fife’s suggestion to try 100% Acupressure will certainly sort it out. That’s what all the physios and osteopaths do anyway, your just cutting out the middleman by doing it yourself and saving yourself time and money 
Just give the shoulder to rest and recover for a few days after any work you do on it. So just use heat therapy in between sessions and a little gentle exercise to keep it mobile. One day a few days after one of those sessions you might find your pops, clicks or clunks and suddenly you find your shoulder that bit more free moving. That’s the way it tends to go for me whenever I’ve used it in the past, and I’ve used for many things.

I shall be trying everyone’s suggestions to find the one that works best for me right now then move on to more difficult ones as my shoulder eases.
I tried one from Simon’s suggestion yesterday but it didn’t go so well & i ended up in a heap on the floor - it was one you did lying on the bed only my dodgy leg decided to tip me off the bed i’ll try an easier one first I think 
I get a lot of clicking, cracking & popping. A bit like a percussion orchestra. 
I’ll miss it when it’s gone

When I first had the stroke I tried to explain my problems with my mischevious hand (the right one and fortunately I am left handed)n to my GP and he asked “are the problems cognitive or muscular?” and I thought “silly bloke, of course they’re cognitive, my stroke happened to my brain not my arm” but with the residual problems I still have I’m now not so sure. When I consciously try to make my hand do things it’s fairly well behaved, but what about all the times when I’m not thinking about it - when I’m asleep or reading a book. Over the 2 1/2 years since my stroke my hand probably has become physically weaker so when it misbehaves it now may be muscular rather than cognitive naughtiness.

@FionaB1 there’s probably something in that. That’s why i’m wondering if it is my frozen shoulder causing the problem rather than my stroke. I guess i’ll find out when I go for physio. My arm will go back to a normal position if I consciously think about it.
They are very mischievous aren’t they

Now that really is a mischievous arm. I can just imagine the scene as one arm battled with the other.

Oh now that is just so mischievous 
If I had that hand I’m pretty sure my family would want me to keep it. I’d the party piece at all family get togethers, particularly with the little one

You have my sympathies Anne, a frozen shoulder is soo incredibly painfull … I had one some years ago and it often made me cry with pain. I went privately to see a rheumatologist as my doc couldn’t get me a hospital appointment, and she was brilliant and showed me things to do and wrote to my doctor … she said it’s a pain no one realises how bad, until they get it and she had seen grown men cry over it … my husband was really good and did excercises on my arm and shoulder everyday and was a huge help … hope things improves for you soon x

@Ismeval thank you. At times the pain is excruciating. I thought I was being a wimp initially but when I saw my dr they said how painful it can be which made me feel better as I knew then I wasn’t being a wimp.
I’m exercising away & it is easing a bit. Hopefully it’ll resolve soon xx

Thanks for reply Simon. I also got “twinges” in other shoulder so my husband did the same for that one and it never took hold thank goodness. Manipulation by someone else is really good as they take the weight of your arm and could move it further than I could myself. I have a frozen “me” at the moment cos it is very frosty and freezing down here in Durham area today
@SimonInEdinburgh i think my attempt at Tara’s exercise didn’t go so well due to my dodgy leg not playing fair. I have found a slightly different way of doing the same exercise where my dodgy leg shouldn’t cause me any trouble
I’m not worried about a bit of pain. No pain no gain as they say.
I’m being cautious with exercising until I’ve seen a professional as I don’t want to inadvertently cause any further issues. I do think my shoulder is slowly improving though so am happy with that.
I’m not going to let my hubby anywhere near it though as past experience suggests he’s too heavy handed and will make it worse
