I had a series of frozen shoulders and the physio got me to raise the offending arm outstretched to horizontal and hold it for as long as poss up to 10seconds, then repeat 10 times. started with once a day then morning and night, then morning, noon and night for about a month. Still works for me. He even got me to do this with a series of thicker and thicker elastic bands, they were MUCH more resistant than your average elastic band though!

All damage done to your shoulder is entirely at your own risk!!

This might help?

Cheers!

Being pedantic, is the term frozen shoulder correct? Having had a frozen shoulder, it lasted for months and was possibly the most painful condition that I have ever experienced .... up there with a root canal infection bursting through my gum.

If you are genuinely getting a frozen shoulder issue when driving, I would recommend you start exercises to treat the condition immediately to try and reduce the duration of the condition that can last 18 months.

Having had the same I can also confirm it doesn't come and go. Exercise didn't fix it but 2 steroid injections eventually did. Sounds painful but it wasn't and there was almost instant relief

I just put it on cruise control and have a walk and stretch about……

And here was me thinking you drove holding the wheel with your toes so you could have your hands free to play on your game boy!

Had a froze shoulder a couple of times. Viewed it like a rusted up hinge. Wd 40 (painkillers) prior to moving it. Just kept at it for a couple of weeks and then sorted. Initially assessed at a sports injury university dept who I initially put it down to old age but suggested the above treatment regime. Now I stick to a strict exercise daily routine.

I'm only 5'9" I can't drive Transits with a swivel seat base. Seat is too high get neck & shoulder ache stooping to see out of the screen.

Perhaps there are different size transits. I am 6 ft 3 and have a transit with swivel seats and the windscreen is high enough. The only problem I've had with low windscreens is Fiat. perhaps different seats or just adjustment. Had a very painful shoulder once driving round French mountains in a 8m motorhome but that had no power steering.

Better off having a kip so you're nice and fresh when you get to site

I have to say that the front seats are the most uncomfortable for driving or lounging in our N & B. I am forever changing the backrest to try and get more comfortable and there is not enough legroom for driving. I quite often get pain in my coxyx after a couple of hours. I am seriously thinking of getting the seats re-made or buying some specialised seat cushion. Arms and shoulders are fine though! The seats are seriously teutonically firm!

I woke up with a painful left shoulder a month ago. The pain is in the top of my shoulder, but shoots down my arm to my bicep, elbow, forearm and wrist when I move it. Changing down gears is very painful.
I've had two visits to the physio, she says the shoulder joint is a poor design, a lot of tendons and nerves are squeezed through a narrow gap at the top of your arm and any inflammation in that area just presses on them, sending the pain into other areas. Mine is easing very slightly, but I keep overdoing things (refitted the propshaft on son's Iveco last week ) which won't be helping ?
I've had a steroid injection for tennis elbow, which did the trick, I might have to see about one for my shoulder too as it's definitely affecting my sleep.

Our seats aren't bad but we put a couple of dinning chair cushions on, the type that you tie to the backrest to keep in place, they're not very thick but do make them nice and comfy with no issues when travelling for a long time, worth a go?

I had low seat boxes fitted to my Citroen Relay - returns the seats to their original position as designed by the base vehicle manufacturer - it's only 1.5" but makes all the difference.

We have tried that one and then bought some cheap gel seat pads but I think it needs a purpose made gel seat pad for driving with the coccyx cutout and thicker than the cheap ones we bought.

You can buy those types of seat pads, loads on Amazon, Ebay etc.
