Frozen Shoulder Evaluation for Healthcare Providers 

68 yr old female..exactly the same symptoms.. thank-you for this video

Paul I learn better from you than from a textbook

Great video thank you.

Thank you!

May I ask how do you differentiate arthritis and frozen shoulder?

I feel his pain I'm going through this right now.

These videos always come in clutch as I learn about these diagnoses. Thank you. I see you said go to your website for more information on adhesive capsulitis, is that still on there?

clear explanations thank you very much!

Would could it mean if I’m lying down and i have very little motion and a lot of pain but whne i sit up i can do most things. At night and in the morning i have barely any range of motion without pain but during the day it’s a little reduced.

Sorry could someone write down what kind of medicine doctor mentions against inflammation. I do not understand what is said. Tnx

Northern European, never heard that, but that’s me. Got frozen shoulder. Now, I’m certainly no conspiracy theorist or such nonsense, but I got four vaccine shots in the same spot in my left shoulder within a year, and my shoulder never really recovered. One shot gave me a soft liquid pouch swelling under the left armpit. Soon after, my frozen shoulder set in. Any chance there’s a connection?

Get better in a month? Not accurate. I've had both shoulders in the past. Also PT in inflammatory stage made me worse on both.

I got frozen shoulder after being diagnosed with Guillain-barre syndrome

This is very very interesting. I'm trying to figure out if I have same issue (I'm in my 40's). When I try to raise my right arm up, it goes to 120 degrees and it just can't go any further. I feel a little bit discomfort. I'm struggling to put my right arm behind my back and it hurts more and I have to move my whole body on angle to try to put it. When I try to reach across my chest, it goes to maybe 135 degrees and I feel a little bit of a pain. I can put arm behind my head. When I put my right hand on my stomach and try to raise my elbow while hand is on stomach, I can't do it (this the most obvious difference compared to left arm elbow which I can move up quite a lot). The worst pain happens if let say I drop a car keys and I try to catch it. It doesn't happen often but when it happens, I can literally freeze up because of the pain. If put my left finger on top of my shoulder and I try to raise my right arm up, for some reason during the movement, my finger on top of the shoulder moves far behind, like behind the neck, while if I put my right finger on my left shoulder (I can reach across with right arm to my left shoulder as long as my arm is not straight), then finger doesn't move as much if I try to raise my left arm (good arm). If I move my right arm away from my body and try to raise it up, it can go maybe 120 degrees (second exercise from video). I have good strength in my right arm. Do you think this is frozen shoulder or maybe some kind of tear or AC joint dysfunction, should I get MRI? It kind of looks weird. As if my whole body and bottom muscles (under arm) are trying to lift my arm up so I'm kind of on the angle struggling to raise my arm up (look like my top muscles are frozen as well). Also, if I do have frozen shoulder, would heat be better then cold on the shoulder (for muscles to relax, maybe to use hot parafin maybe 30 minutes before exercise, or hot shower)? Thank you.
