I'm so depressed, my shoulder has been hurting and it has gotten worse, went to the Ortho Dr. and he said it is Frozen Shoulder sent me to PT but it could take a while to unfreeze, like up to a year! I was going to start swim training for tri's again and now this, ugh. :frown: It's he** gettin old.

    Did you Dr mention any possibilities of a manipulation? Did he say anything about impingement syndrome??

    Keep moving it as much as possible. It may not take a year if you are diligent about your PT.
