This is one great orthopedic surgeon. Thank you for such thorough explanation. Many clinicians automatically recommend PT evaluation. I found the typical exercises recommended by PT aren’t helpful to ‘thawing’ the tight muscles nor alleviating the pain during the first 2 stages. The steroid injection offers some relief (decreasing the inflammation).
I had 2 injections and Lidocaine patches were the only thing that helped me sleep. This is a terrible condition and wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
Thank you so much! I agree that education is everything. I was told it could take a year but i was never told a diagnosis. Apparently it’s difficult to diagnose but here you say that if the pain is not deep inside the front of the shoulder while attempting to do external rotation but instead it is in the lateral aspect of the shoulder then it is more likely to be a rotator cuff tear or tendinitis. I will discuss with my orthopedist in trying to figure out if cortisone will be helpful in either case. Great presentation doc! Thank you again. ❤
I broke my shoulder march 2022 and now they want to do a surgery for frozen shoulder over a year later. I have been in pt over a year. I also had a nerve surgery in my forearm last fall. I had an mri last august

Sir thanks for educating us. This presentation is very informative.

In Sweden they have removed those patches :( so sad about that.

Thanks for your explanation on this.
I have experienced this a few times.
