FG, I swear the frozen shoulder pain is unbelievable. Its the capsule contracting down and scarring. I think my painful stage was like 4-5 months.
Stick with it.
Ok this was weird but what helped me at night was i tucked a pillow under my arm pit and tried to sleep that way when I slept on my side. It helped keep the arm neutral. Also sometimes I would make a ^ with two pillows and lay on my back with my head at the top of the ^ and lay a small pillow under that frozen arm.
When I saw my new ortho this week he said that he sees 500 frozen shoulders a year and will only do surgery on 1-2 people. He then examined me and said I think you might be my first one of 2009.
Have you looked at t some of the exercises I sent ya FG? Also I swear I had to almost wait to the end of the frozen stage to do them. The easiest one is walking your hand/fingers up a wall.
