Since posting after hurting my shoulder doing archaeology i've been umming and ahhing about this. Someone mentioned the words frozen shoulder could be because of diabetic stuff.

But how on earth could a shoulder 'freeze' because of diabetes? :confused:

Personally I've always had shoulder issues, due to slouching and or round shoulders (seriously, i can't keep a bag on my shoulders to save my life), but the left one is once more aching and burning so i was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what a frozen shoulder is?
