Recognition
Do any of these feel familiar?
People describe difficulty reaching into overhead cupboards, fastening clothing behind their back, reaching a seatbelt, or sleeping on the affected side without pain. Frozen shoulder typically progresses through a painful phase (increasing pain and stiffness), a frozen phase (less pain but severe restriction), and a thawing phase (gradual return of movement over months to years). Many find the restriction affects independence in daily activities disproportionately to the visible appearance of the problem.
