[RC] Frozen Shoulder - Alison Dunn

Ackkk!!  I've just been diagnosed with frozen shoulder!  I'm into my fourth month - just starting on the second cycle (see internet - there is plenty on it!)
My doctor said using it would hurt - but not hurt it.  I had quit riding since the beginning of February as Sorin's occasional spooks and even trotting had started to really hurt.  (And forget doing gates!)  I had been diagnosed with a possible rotator cuff injury at the time.  Some internet articles say to 'avoid sudden jerking motions' during the rehab period (which is about a year, by the way!)  I can't not ride for a year - its been killing me enough not to ride in one of the most beautiful (as in dry!) California springs we've had in awhile.
Anyone else had this? (There should be plenty of you, as the statistics of having it are mostly women in their fifties!)  What about riding?  Any encouraging success stories? Thanks!
