Has anyone had "frozen shoulder"?

Sometime last November my right shoulder started acting up and being irritated. It eventually got bad enough that I got a cortisone shot for it in Februrary (boy did that mess up my numbers!!! Geeze; I was warned, but spent 3 days over 200 no matter what I did....). The shot did, fortunately, work quite well until one day when I reached for something quickly and nearly collapsed in pain.

I've since been to PT 7 times, and it's helped but mobility is still significantly impaired. Supposedly diabetics aged 40-60 are somewhat likely to get it.

My primary questions are:

  • How long did it last for you if you had it? Online research shows 2 years or so of frustration.
  • Did you regain full mobility at some point?
  • Any suggestions that seemed to help you more than others for regaining mobility?

Thanks!
