Frozen shoulder: Stretching exercises are needed either on your own or with a therapist. Use an anti-inflammatory medication. Sometimes a cortisone injection is needed into the joint. Be patient, can be a slow recovery.

MOVE THE SHOULDER: If not severe then start with nsaid's and a home program to regain the range of motion. If no improvement then seek care sooner then later and consider formal therapy and possibly a steroid injection in the shoulder joint. If all fails, surgery "manipulation under anesthesia" or arthroscopic surgery with release of adhesions can be very successful.
