Alright I went to my doctor today when my shoulder decided to start hurting excessively for no real reason. He said I may have frozen shoulder syndrome. I looked it up on google, but couldnt really find anything, has anyone heard of this or had it?

I thought I was pretty well informed but I've never heard of that. I'd call and find out what it was. You paid for the doctors visit. :)

I'm from Canada, we dont pay for the dr's visit. :big_smile: What I've found is that it usually affects woman, but often woman over 40. And it usually takes months and months to onset to pain. I'm only 21, so I'm a little iffy about diagnosis, plus this shoulder pain only started 3 weeks ago, not months ago. So if anyone else has had it I would like to know their age, and how long the symptoms they had were. So I can compare.
