Immobility / Stiffness
All About Shoulder Pain
This is the key diagnostic sign of a frozen shoulder; you can’t move the arm and neither can anyone else if they lift the arm for you. The shoulder becomes stiff or stuck anywhere between 48 hours to 4 weeks from the initial pain – if your shoulder is not ‘stuck’ you may not have a true frozen shoulder. Many people are forced to give up work, as a result of the pain and stiffness that commonly persist for many years. Recent studies indicate that even after seven years 70% of sufferers still have some persistent disability.
The inability to work and the constant pain and stiffness can have a considerable impact on you psychologically as well as financially. We are only too aware that patients can become extremely depressed and anxious as a result.
