Frozen shoulder happens when a "capsule" of tissue around the shoulder joint tightens up and makes movement painful and difficult. You might want to check out the Mayo Clinic's info on the condition here:
I had a frozen shoulder once, not a very pleasant experience. The pain seemed to increase over time, to the point where I would wake in the middle of the night in tears. My doctor told me it would resolve itself eventually, but I couldn't wait. I had what's called a "closed manipulation," where he anesthetized me and essentially moved my arm to free up the shoulder. After a couple days recovery it was much better.
