when my shoulder was frozen and spasming painfully. I needed a cortisone shot on two occasions as well while I waited to get therapy.

They started out prescribing gentle movements, like just dangling my arm and letting it move in a circle in both directions. Later I moved to a therapy stick to push my hand laterally to the side while keeping my elbow against my body. That really helped, but you have to do the exercises they give you twice a day, three if you can, so I made it part of my lunch break.

I encourage yout to get started right away. It was just the thing for me, and they will customize something for you.
