You will hear a variety of opinions, but I would say to avoid surgery at all costs! FS is a painful condition and while you are waiting it out, doing PT etc, it can feel never-ending. My FS took about one year to resolve and I was depressed and angry about all of it, so it was a physical and emotional struggle to be sure! I did PT (which is important especially as the shoulder starts to thaw so that you get back to full range of motion), I tried acupuncture (which did not go well for me, but others have found relief), various herbal remedies, fish oil (which I still take as it is beneficial for all forms of inflammation), ultrasound guided cortisone shots (which helped some with pain, but not as much as I had hoped) and an anti-inflammatory diet.

Who knows if any or all of these things shortened the duration of FS?? When they tell you that typically people have frozen shoulder for 6 months to 2 years, it can be hard to know if what you did was really helpful. I do believe that going after FS (particularly with some more natural things like diet and movement) are helpful and probably shorten the duration some. Even if they do not, they give you something to do during a time when you can feel frustrated and powerless!!

Good luck....don't go under the knife unless you have some other ortho issues that also need attention (my opinion only!)

Well I've had failed twice. First time I didn't really understand and it just ran it's course. About two years of pain. Second time I had surgery. An arthroscopic capsular release. Best thing I ever did. That gut wrenching pain was gone. Some physio then after about a month pretty much fill rom. Different things for different people. The surgeon who treated me described family as a benign self limiting condition. It will improve by itself

The surgery just gets you there potentially a year sooner

I've had surgery for a labral tear, and 2 months into recovery, frozen shoulder started. It worsened and it was confirmed 4 months after surgery.

2 more months later I had a manipulation under anesthesia done. This failed, and we tried a cortisone injection.

This was now July of last year. I then had ankle surgery the next month. Getting up on crutches was impossible to do. The first time I was on them, the scar tissue tore, I felt it too.

Fast forward and it's now the end of August and a year has passed. I had a revision ankle surgery done in May and I'm recovering from that.

Still have the frozen shoulder issue, and I'm hoping that in a few months my surgeon will decide to take this to the next level.

I have restricted movement because of the scar tissue, lots of pain too. I don't know what will happen in the future.
