Where this comes from

Abstract

Frozen shoulder (also called adhesive capsulitis) results from shrinking and scarring of a previously normal joint. It involves significant shoulder pain and loss of movement. The pain can last from weeks to many months. Loss of movement can last months to years. Fortunately, you can take steps to control the pain and regain motion.
