Frozen shoulder is a condition that can come on slowly and develop when you stop using your shoulder because of pain or from another chronic health condition such as a stroke. When a shoulder injury is left untreated and the mobility of the shoulder isn’t regained a frozen shoulder can occur.

Limited shoulder movement
Pain when trying to sleep on the affected shoulder
