Frozen shoulder ain't no joke; “You see the Western movies [where] they forge the steel and … plunge it into the cold water … that’s what it feels like, hot, molten lava encapsulated by metal, dragging your shoulder down”. Lyne et al. 2022

RT @MitchTGibbs:

This is a lovely read, not sure what all the drama is about re: readability. It’s something you need to sit with for a bit because it’s wrestling with philosophical problems.

Super interesting from Travers et al. In runners with Achilles pain, a diagnostic explanation focused on muscle function (not tendon pathology) led to less pain with hopping. This may suggest how we explain pain can have an immediate impact on the pain experience.

Why do people say dramatic things like "this is a hill I'm willing to die on" about things with inconclusive evidence. Just chill and be open to being wrong.

Diabetes as a cause of frozen shoulder - probably through glycation end products. Good to see a study using causal inference methods.

Where are we at with creatine my supplement inclined friends? Specifically for strength, hypertrophy and maybe general health, at a push.

Dows Faith go sub 4? I really hope so.

NHS costs (initial consultation and over 6-month follow-up) were significantly higher in the GP-led model (median £105.5 per patient) versus physiotherapy led model (£41.0 per patient) and FCPP-AQ (£44.0 per patient) (P<0.001).

One thing missing from the predictable diagnostic label backlash is that it's a social contract. Labels are a key part of communicating about pain in society. Without a label, people can believe they have 'medically unexplained symptoms' which is a dark literature to explore.

Active inference in rehab with @MervTravers .

“We are very uncertain whether strengthening exercise reduces pain compared to no treatment”.

Conspiratorial thinking vs rational thinking in full effect here.

Anyone know of an update to this great review from a decade ago?.
