I can move my "frozen shoulder" with no restriction except when trying to take off my t-shirt or lifting something heavy then is it a frozen shoulder?

Thawing: Frozen simply describes a loss of range, not no range. It is normal to regain range with pain still limiting the extremes of range. You may also just have impungement at this point. Continue with your exercises.

Most likely not: Frozen shoulder is a shoulder joint with significant loss of its range of motion in all directions. The range of motion is limited not only when the patient attempts motion but also when the doctor attempts to move the joint fully while the patient relaxes.
