Daily exercise: In frozen shoulder, the tissue around the shoulder joint gets thick and tight. In most cases, a frozen shoulder will get better on its own, but it can take months to a couple of years to heal completely. Is important to visit your doctor for evaluation, go to physical therapy (if not done yet) and potential orthopedic consult depending on your pain and functional level.

Speak with doctor: the extension range may take time to get back if you are supposed to limit it while the fracture healed. Will take constant therapy for a few months at least. Frozen Shoulder also requires constant range of motion, therapy and maybe even a cortisone injection or manipulation under anesthesia to help with this. Speak to your doctor, he/she should be able to help you.
