So, evidently, I have frozen shoulder.

4. I've had several

Right arm twice, left arm once. First time I did PT and learned all the exercises that "melted" the frozen shoulder. Second and third times I didn't go to PT but by using the info I'd already learned I was able to unfreeze the shoulders by myself. It's a painful process. First time took about 2 months to get back to normal. The other times I was able to unfreeze my shoulder much sooner because I had learned the technique for one exercise that did the most good. It's painful and goes like this:

Using a rubber stretching cord in both hands behind my waist I'd pin my arm to the small of my back. Then I'd go to a corner wall and using my body weight I'd lean the front of that shoulder into the wall. Hurt like the dickens but it did the trick.
