Is it Really Frozen Shoulder?
Last January, I wrote about whether or not I had frozen shoulder, and I how I was managing acute shoulder pain without a firm diagnosis (see that post here). Reader response was phenomenal. More people stopped by diabetes 24-7 to read about shoulder pain almost as much as my story on the Islet Sheet. Even today, I receive hundreds of hits per week for this problem. Reader responseindicates a large number of people are suffering from shoulder pain and may not know why.
How do you know if you really have Frozen Shoulder? ...

Bobbie,
I am a suffer of the diabetic frozen shoulder phenomena and it's a readily diagnosed injury assuming the correct tests are done. Most people with this condition have onoing pain and physical theraphy does little to alleviate it nor steroid shots. Range of position is approximately 50% from what I observed in your picture. The range of treatment I was given was surgery, electrical simulation, or to nothing and augment pain with medication. My physcian said eventually I would get better - when asked time frame I was informed 1-2 years was normal conversly surgery with pt and then followup rehab treatment was a similar time frame. So I am now 1 year into the wait and see treatment - pain is now only moderately at times, but range of motion continues to be the same.
With proper diagnostic work you can easily rule out impigment and busar issues and have the correct diagnosis.
