So you see, so many people, and just about as many different opinions.

I find myself developing a "freezing" shoulder at the moment and I have dediced to do nothing except exercise, try keep ROM and it this seems to work.
Yes I have pain if I go too far, but by just keeping on doing the things I have always done with maybe a little less speed and certainly less strength, I get by. It has been 6 months now and not getting better yet.

As said before, I have treated so many patients and now its my turn.
I will keep you posted

Bravo Mulberry, Doctors of medicine have only a hazy idea of the true nature of many of the MSK conditions Physiotherapists treat effectively. It pays to form one's own diagnosis each time and consider the doctor's notes as merely a guide. This is certainly true of the so called "frozen shoulder", same when called adhesive capsulitis, rotator cuff syndrome etc. The vast majority of these will be revealed to be neuralgic in nature with appropriate investigation. This condition , as you can tell from reading the posts above , is still not fully understood by many physiotherapists either.
