Active inflammation: In the initial and second stages of frozen shoulder there is active inflammation and formation of adhesions/scar tissue which increase with pressure on the area or stretching the capsule. Cortisone injection in the sub acromial or supraspinatous helps in some cases, follow by 1 month of tapering oral corticosteroids.
