A member asked:
In your practice experience how effective is a guided cortisone injection for frozen shoulder if caught early, say two months into the freezing stage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible help: Glenohumeral injections or steroid are an acceptable practice in conjunction with aggressive physical therapy in an effort to improve range of motion in 'frozen shoulder'. Still, the average duration of symptoms can be betwen 6-9 months and sometimes longer.
