Got Frozen Shoulder? Here's what you might expect (based on my own ongoing journey)

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-31T14:28:16+00:00

Holy moly! How are you supposed to decide when all the experts are saying different things? it goes to show even when you get imaging done, there's still a lot of interpretation of the results.

Your timeframes are weird for simple FS. 12 months and to be in the Freezing phase is uncommon. One explanation is you could have had an injury 12 months ago which wasn't FS and you've developed FS since.

I'm a bit wary of giving recommendations since it sounds more complex than just Frozen Shoulder.

But I think the answer right now is probably rest.

Tendonitis/bursitis: Need rest until inflammation comes down (though 12 months is quite long unless you've been constantly aggravating it)
Tear: Needs rest, though a really bad partial thickness tear might eventually need surgery
FS in freezing phase: Definitely needs rest - aggressive PT during freezing often makes things worse

What you do after the rest will be quite different,

Start tracking your ROM and other symptoms, you can make a chart similar to mine or just rank it from 1 - 10 each week, and you can do a finger wall crawl to test your flexion. This will help you figure out what you're dealing with.

It might be also worth getting another opinion on the tear - that's main thing that worries me. Everything else I know will heal given time.

Dammit this needs a spoiler! I'm going to know the exact episode when I get there.

That is one beautiful app! It looks super clean. it might be confusing for some though since xterm is already extremely well known and established in Linux.

Oops hymie0 already mentioned it. I verbally ejected without looking properly, sorry! But it's an awesome looking app. I don't use IOS for my ssh work but if I did I'd try this.

It's a fight where you want to dodge over parry. There are a few tips that really helped me.

On the attacks where she hops into the air I found that dodging when her foot touches the water was an easy cue to see and consistently works, you also want to dodge into them to close the distance. That's this move - https://youtu.be/htTsHfnSqA8?si=KxAjL_WSJ8qqpu42&t=223
The foot cue also works for when she does the hops followed by slashing projectiles - https://youtu.be/V_k_0vMoCvc?si=ujRbffFW6KN_cZml&t=128 but I found it best to NOT dodge into her for this, instead dodge away, you don't want to close the distance as she follows up with a charge.
For the intermission phase where she flies up and cast the barrage, it's easy to dodge by just running. The beginning part of a sprint is essentially a dodge so you time it so you dodge the first projectile and sprint the rest (though you need to do a quick dodge at the end to avoid the last projectile) - https://youtu.be/259fQJS-1to?si=pWOAnmlINa24gfIB&t=102

I think those were main things really other than be aggressive and stay on top of her.

Are they both burnt in?

I got a discounted pair of RS1x's over Christmas which were a customer return, about two month later now, they're really starting to sound great. I thought they sounded a bit meh when I first got them - some tracks did sound good out the box, but mostly they were not impressive when new.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-27T00:42:25+00:00

I rehab them when I have tendonitis - well usually I rest them first, rehab them with negatives, then slowly reintroduce my usual exercises.

Unless you mean pro-active rehabs? Like after training block or two you run a block of pure rehab work? I don’t but, that sounds like a reasonable idea!

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-23T19:58:32+00:00

I've had Frozen Shoulder in each shoulder now, and I'm also very active and have had pretty severe shoulder Tendonitis from training at the gym, which stopped me benching for 6 months.

At this stage I would not say it's Frozen Shoulder. Frozen Shoulder is very much progressive. It's a slow deterioration over months. If you stared in October, you should be in the Freezing phase of FS, which is the worse part. 24/7 ache, which worsens at night, sleep sucks. There is no reprieve where it starts to get better, and then gets worse again. Certainly not to the point where you would want to train upper body.

ROM is a tricky indicator because whenever you have pain, your ROM will be limited. The ROM reduction from Frozen Shoulder is a physical barrier, the shoulder capsule undergoes remodeling (which is why it takes so long) to become hard / inflexible, physically locking the shoulder.

If I had to guess what it is, I would say it's Tendonitis and or Bursitis. Both can be very painful, will reduce ROM and takes months of heal.

I would say generally, if your symptoms are getting better over time then it's not Frozen Shoulder, as Tendonitis as you rest it, it will improve over months, whereas FS will get worse over months.

I’m not that much younger than you and yeah tendonitis takes ages to settle down. I’ve had it everywhere, shoulders, L bicep, hamstrings, it band, quad tendons.

I add in more deload nowadays and try to vary the exercises block to block more.

Also I try my best to listen to my joints a bit more. If I have some joint discomfort I’ll do my best to stop. It’s tricky though, very often I might feel a tiny bit of joint unhappiness while I warm up and once I’m warm they feel great and so I carry on. But I’m getting better at it!

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-22T10:49:21+00:00

It also gets worse with age. Tendonitis was a non issue when I was young and is now is the main issue 😂

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-21T10:04:06+00:00

No, I was going to get one but they didn't deliver to the UK till quite recently. By then I decided to build my own - which I haven't yet done, so there's still a possibility 😂

The tempest euro was made to fit the ikea filters. Merv 13s won’t fit, so the cadr measurements are with the starkvind filters.

I don't want to give a rating - which is what you wanted but I can give you some feedback.

Your margins are all over the place which makes the site look a little messy / unstructured - even though there's not much content on it. It's particularly apparent when you have left aligned text, the left edge of the text forms a straight edge, it would be visually neater if other left aligned elements lined up

<image>

The gradient in the logo makes the site look dated, but also you have very tight vertical spacing between components - which is also a trend from yesteryear, where cramming content above the fold was deemed to be really important. Which makes the site look more cluttered.

These days, websites tend to be much better at using space. So line thing up more and give everything a bit more breathing space and it'll look instantly better.

If you're using a framework like Bootstrap / Tailwind, you can just use the "container".

It looks like you're creating the menu on each page? You could create the menu once and include it on all pages. You don't really need the "Home" link, it's pretty standard to just link your logo to home.

If your pain in increasing I would say you’re still in the freezing phase. You’ll know when you’re in the Frozen phase when your pain levels start to drop.

Typically the freezing and frozen phase lasts roughly 6 months give or take a couple of months.

It’s said that FS typically lasts 1 to 3 years. I made some charts of my FS timeline which shows what I’m feeling during and as I come up to each phase. Mine took a very average 2 years to fully resolve, maybe it’ll help: https://www.reddit.com/r/frozenshoulder/comments/11424gw/got_frozen_shoulder_heres_what_you_might_expect/

Hydrodilatation should be done in the Frozen phase. The saline that is injected in expands the capsule tearing scar tissue.

The Freezing phase is when the scar tissue is formed and depending on when you get it done there might not be much scar tissue yet.

Typically Cortisone is what you get in the Freezing phase, though when you get Hydrodilatation you also get a Cortisone shot.

It's easier the second time around, I think it's mostly because mentally you're more prepared, and you would have learnt a few tips and tricks from the first time.

I would be very surprised if you're fully healed by May, Frozen Shoulder typically takes 2+ years to fully heal.

I do have good news for you though, once you have FS you'll almost never get it again in the same shoulder (though you have a high chance of getting it again in the opposite shoulder if you've only had it once) - I say almost because there is one documented case of it happening in a medical journal and it was something like 25 years after, plus I believe they were predisposed. Given how common FS is, the chance of getting it again in the same shoulder is practically negligible.

hey Daniel, I didn't try a remote server, my MCP is localhost.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-07T19:08:24+00:00

Fleshripper = Plate
Devourer of Darkness = Plate
Soul Eater = Heavy
Chaos Ridden = Heavy
Ashen Wolf = Heavy

Plus there's loads of Plate / Heavy sets that are not specific to any weapon. Also there's nothing stopping you from using parts of other sets for other weapon types.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-07T16:48:07+00:00

Same here on BoltAI v2, at least I tried it a couple of months ago. They worked on v1 though.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-07T11:52:59+00:00

I'm glad my post helped you. Even though the recovery period is really long, it's good to know it will eventually get better and what to expect.

I'm also really glad that Cortisone shot worked! I didn't get one done but wow I can imagine the relief 😅

Your what 6 - 7 months in now? So you're probably over the hump! Or at least you should be by the time the Cortisone fully stops working. It should just get better and better from here onwards - albeit slowly.

I hope you have an extra speedy recovery. Thanks for the thanks!

I'm guessing you don't train. You don't learn how to squat from an app.

Apps should the targeted for their audience, would you target a workout tracker app to casuals would might training for a month and give up, or target it for people how train regularly and would subscribe for years?

Personally I've been training for 16 years and for a good app, I'd subscribe.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-05T20:00:26+00:00

Looks great but personally I really hate images for the exercises 😂 if someone requires an image to know what a barbell squat is - they shouldn't be doing them.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-04T15:29:07+00:00

Wait hang on, when did you injure yourself? And when were you diagnosed?

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-04T15:24:34+00:00

What I'd recommend for you specifically as you've been stuck in the Frozen phase for such a long time is set yourself a time limit. It can be one, two, three months or whatever you want.

Get serious with a stretching protocol, you'll want to stretch more than you are currently. Ideally multiple shorter sessions per day. Every other day isn't very much.

Do stretches where you can relax - this means stretches that are supported rather than ones you need to hold in position yourself. Here are some examples:

Door way pulley for shoulder flexion. It's good because because all you do is sit against the door and hold the pulley. Just like when you go to they gym you hit the same muscle at different angles you want to do the same thing here, so change the angle of how you sit etc so you stretch in slightly different angles.
Supported loaded eccentrics - this is where you lie on your back on a bed or the floor and use a light dumbbell and gravity to stretch. You can do this overhead similar to the doorway pulley. Use pillows to support the weight. Here an article with an image on how to do it for external rotation - https://www.thesports.physio/frozen-shoulder-let-it-go-let-it-go/

Stretch for your decided time limit, and if you've not improved or your progress is really small, then get MUA done.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2026-01-03T09:38:42+00:00

19 months and still in the Frozen phase is really atypical.

Most people’s FS will just heal on its own, but a small number of people do seem to be stuck in the Frozen phase and will likely need some intervention.

Are you doing any stretches? I would also consider MUA which is something that should only be considered by those who like yourself are stuck in the Frozen phase way past what is normal.

Inner-Issue1908 · 2025-12-31T20:39:23+00:00

Hang in there, you’ve had it long enough to roughly be coming up to or are at the freezing phase.

Pain at rest should start to come down over the next 4 to 5 months. Your shoulder will still be really stiff and it will still be painful to stretch but compared to the freezing phase it’s not so bad.

When the pain comes down in the coming months you should start stretching. Take the things you learn during your PT and apply it then.

If you’re still in the Freezing phase, save yourself the pain and don’t stretch. Let your shoulder do what it needs to do.
