This is interesting. Somebody at work told me about this syndrome last week. My shoulder has been getting steadily more stiff and hard to use. This description fits my symptoms better than my own best guess ("Tendinitis.")
and my doctor's professional diagnosis ("WTF?"). Incidentally, I've been visiting a physical therapist, and the stretching exercises help a little.
At work, I successfully switched to using the mouse left-handed. It's still slow going but I don't make many mistakes anymore, like accidentally highlighting and deleting whole swaths of text. (Thank goodness for the Undo key.)

I hope you don't really have a frozen shoulder. My mom had that, had to have surgery after years of PT, and even so her shoulder has never been the same.

Well the prognosis for frozen shoulder sounds more promising than Maya's description. Let's hope.
Still, no how or why?? how odd.

Barry Bonds had frozen shoulder. And then a friend told him about a treatment that would make him feel a million times better. All he needed was a shot in the bee-hind and some flaxseed oil to rub all over himself. Now Barry's hoosegow-bound on a perjury rap.
The moral of the foregoing: It's past my bedtime.

That'd throw away my entire professional baseball career, Dan. Stupid Congressional inquiries.

Personally, I welcome a congressional inquiry. I want to get to the bottom of ... whatever it is.
