For sufferers of "Frozen Shoulder"

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis).

Frozen Shoulder Syndrome is an extremely painful and debilitating condition characterised by pain and stiffness of the shoulder.
It lasts for an average of 30 months.
Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching.
It can be worsened with attempted motion.
The pain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm.
The hallmark of the disorder is restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder.
The affected individual cannot move the shoulder normally.
Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move the shoulder for the patient.
Some physicians have described the normal course of a frozen shoulder as having three stages:

Stage one: In the "freezing" stage, which may last from six weeks to nine months, the patient develops a slow onset of pain. As the pain worsens, the shoulder loses motion.

Stage two: The "frozen" stage is marked by a slow improvement in pain, but the stiffness remains. This stage generally lasts four months to nine months.

Stage three: The final stage is the "thawing", during which shoulder motion slowly returns toward normal. This generally lasts five months to 26 months.


Great.... so only another 2-3 years and I'll be as good as new.

Fuck I'm really depressed now.
