I meant to raise this question..is anyone with frozen shoulder in their early 40s..as the doctors nd physiotherapists are all saying that it is more commonly found in patients 60 -70 years of age.

I'll be 45 tomorrow and started with it10 months ago. Recently I'm really starting to wonder if it may also be menopause related. I don't have signs of this but a few ladies told me they started in their mid forties. You just can't be sure why it happens! Just want to make sure it doesn't happen on the other side.

Frozen shoulders come almost between 45 and 60. Are y0u sure these are qualified Drs and PTs. That said other conditions of the shoulder can bring on pain and stiffness but they are not frozen shoulders. There can be I'm sure infections and rheumatic conditions which irritate the capsule. There is some medical literature that suggests that over use can emulate frozen shoulder in the elderly but they can be helped by early mobilization or cortizone injection. Putting them in a sling seems to be the worst option.

I survived the idiopathic kind of FS in both shoulders. First started at 43, second at 50. I now have 100% ROM in the first and about 98% in in the second. It's a long road, but there's definitely hope.
And all the literature says 40s-60s - not sure why you were told otherwise. That's for the idiopathic ("no known cause"
kind. You can get the secondary kind (after trauma, injury, or surgery) at any age.

Hi Madiniah33615,
I have just turned 40 this month and have had FS since this early spring.
I too am a little perplexed about it, but I suppose there are exceptions to every rule. At first, I thought that I had bursitis and tendonitis and two orthopedists told me to get a decompression surgery. However, that changed quickly and I (luckily) have developed a clear FS (so I didn't receive a usseless and potentially damaging surgery).
Looking back, I think that this was the case all along and they just missed it, as looking at my symptoms, pain at the 'right' spots and a very limited ROM, I exhibit the clear telltale signs of an insidious FS (the way we understand them now, still at the age of not understanding frozen shoulder.)
As I have mentione din another post, I think that my cases (I am now slowly developing it in my other shoulder as well), is related to metabolic syndrome and hormonal issues.
