A message from a friend:
I visited your web site recently and see you have a problem with frozen shoulder and are seeking solutions. This was the condition I had -- I can relate, when 10 years ago it first manifested and I could not raise my arms up over my head to take off my shirt. At first it was a big knot in the right trapezium muscle I learned how to relax it and not let it get so tense and it sort of resolved, but always the knots in the shoulder were building. just before started the reiki, I was working on the right shoulder, tired of the constant pain in it and in the muscles. Anyway, that didn't work to put direct energy into the muscles, as the problem or root cause was the whole skeletal alignment itself, which took quite a bit -- all this time to slowly straiten the whole frame. Anyway, it's nearly healed, and the reason for my frozen shoulder I think is different than yours, but there might be a relation. The reason for mine was a congenital deformity, I think it happened when I was born being pulled out with forceps. so damage to the cervical nerves or sternocleidomastoid muscle. Anyway, this tilt of the head/chin and range or motion of turning the neck from left to right only needs to be a SLIGHT restriction. It can easily go unnoticed, as it did in me all my life. This condition (Torticollis ("Wry Neck")) is described at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torticollis Check for more links on this condition as there is more information about it at other sites which you might be able to relate to more. I think it's possible you may have acquired this condition -- perhaps it was when you were rammed by the fork truck, causing an injury to your spinal column. The beginning I think of all the problems you have been encountering. A strong ramming like that I know is also related to onset of fibromyalgia for many people, after a car accident, etc. When the spine is hit lower, then the impact also ripples up and can cause whiplash and affect the cervical spine, or an imbalance or crookedness in the lower spine over years will eventually cause the same higher up in the spine. I guess you have some problem in the vertebrae alignment and as it goes untreated, it is reducing energy along various systems. In you it does seem to start lower in the spine and over time is moving up higher, then affecting systems in your body as the structural problem lower down is not being reflected - like a domino - higher up in the spine. If this rings true for you, then you might try chiropractic adjustment, this is fairly cheap (I also think it's one of the best therapies) and at least this is good to find out if/what vertebrae are the most out of align and it will give you immediate relief and a boost in needed energy.... There might be a way to learn how to do these vertebrae adjustments yourself or with an other's help . The other thing to do by yourself is treat the hand meridians with acupressure and reiki as these all run through the upper spine and shoulders. The ring finger (triple heater meridian) is especially good. You also might find a Chinese acupuncturist who can check your meridians and find out which ones are blocked more than others. The Chinese trained acupuncturists are pretty good at narrowing down where in the body the main block(s) is/are. I wish for you a speedy recovery and hope something here helps!
BetsyPS: At this web site you can ask all kinds of health practitioners questions, some alternative people here. This person wrote about frozen shoulder after whiplash injury and the answer links in problems with the muscles related to my 'wry neck'. the answer is good and provides a link to the experts site on how to treat this yourself and learn about how the muscles work.
