Frozen shoulder

Meg’s shoulder is frozen. That’s what they call the old injury which now limits the movement in her right shoulder. She fell while skiing two years ago, but didn’t complain about the pain until recently. When the shoulder started hurting, she finally went to a physiotherapist and now is undergoing sessions twice a week to un-freeze the rigid joint. There’s quite a bit of pain involved, while she does her stretching exercises. It’s difficult to watch her suffer -- she’s like a bird with an injured wing, trying to take flight anyway. But, after a month of physio, some results are showing -- her “wing” is closer to the full span she used to have.
