What was said

"When a person comes into my orthopedic clinic and I know, I read, 'Oh, 46-year-old woman, shoulder pain.' Almost without pause, I know what's going on. You have quick onset of excruciating pain. Unrelenting, and you cannot sleep. And then with very short amount of time, you can't move your arm."

Dr. Vonda Wright explains that frozen shoulder in mid-40s women is almost always tied to perimenopause hormonal changes, not injury. Most orthopedic doctors treat it as a joint problem and miss the hormonal connection entirely. Gary Brecka's wife suffered for 9 months before hormone therapy resolved it in 3 weeks.
