Although it's most common in women 40-70, it can affect just about anyone. I'm learning a lot about it in self-defense. It's very under-diagnosed; a lot of medical professionals don't have much awareness about it.

It varies greatly from person to person in the levels of impairment, duration, and pain, but once a medical professional is aware of it, it's not too difficult to discern, based on the specifics of the range of motion impairment and what happens to the shoulder joint in certain types of movement.

It does eventually go away in most people.

It's a pisser while it lasts though. Glad yours went away and I hope it never comes back!

appreciatively,
Bright
