• Females are more frequently affected than males, especially between the ages of 40 & 60.
• The non-dominant hand is more likely to be affected.
• Often there is no apparent cause however “secondary” frozen shoulder sometimes occurs following injuries such as rotator cuff tears, fracture, falling onto an outstretched hand & of course surgery.
• Pain is felt at night & often radiates down the outside of the affected arm, with sufferers unable to lie on that side.
• Difficulty occurs with activities such as taking off a jumper, reaching the back pocket of your trousers, brushing / shampooing your hair, changing gear while driving, doing up your bra (ladies) & washing under the opposite armpit.
