I said because my shoulder is bone to bone, pops , with extreme pain, that goes down my entire arm way down to my hand, so occasionally I wear the brace to give it a rest. Her response was again with a snotty, rude voice says " well I hope you dont get frozen shoulder again. Im like ok whatever ,I've never had frozen shoulder on my left arm., dr .n
