The Stages Of Frozen Shoulder And How Long It Can Last?

They say, it seems common to find the duration of Frozen Shoulder described as follows:
Freezing (16 months), Frozen (6-18months) and Thawing (12-36 months).
Painful/Freezing Stage
This is the most painful stage of a frozen shoulder. Motion is restricted, but the shoulder is not as stiff as the frozen stage. This painful stage typically lasts 6-12 weeks.
Frozen Stage
During the frozen stage, the pain usually eases up, but the stiffness worsens. The frozen stage can last 4-6 months.
Thawing Stage
The thawing stage is gradual, and motion steadily improves over a lengthy period of time. The thawing stage can last more than a year.


The good news is it doesn't have to take that long if you follow some great guidelines found at www.ShoulderHelp.Info
