What is frozen shoulder? Also know as adhesive capsulitis, it is a condition that is generally characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder, can take months to heal. Don't despair, over time with treatment you will get better. Frozen shoulder is often the result of a lack of activity. For example, people who have had a stroke or masectomy may experience limited motion in their arm over a period of time that leads to frozen shoulder.
