How long does it take to treat frozen shoulder and rheumatoid arthritis?

No cures for RA: There is no cure for RA but there are very effective controls. The frozen shoulder can be helped by meds, local injections, physical therapy and finally manipulation if nothing else helps. Talk with your rheumatologist.

Hard to say: Frozen shoulder usually resolves within 18mo. I would tend to think that your RA is the major contributor to your current shoulder problems. See your rheumatologist or shoulder specialist to sort this out.
