Ep 117: REVISITED: Figuring out frozen shoulder, with Prof Jeremy Lewis

Frozen shoulder is an enigma characterized by uncertainty, pain, stiffness and disability. It is difficult for patients and clinicians to know how best to manage the symptoms, and what is the likely prognosis. In today’s episode, you’ll hear ideas from Professor Jeremy Lewis about how you might approach assessing a painful and stiff shoulder, and how you might talk with patients to make a decision together about the best way forward.
