During his attempts he found that the gristly capsule around the joint was stuck to the bone surface. He had to peel it away like a bandaid or elastoplast strip.

Why does a frozen shoulder get stiff?

Inflammation anywhere in the body causes stickiness. The cells that control the inflammation process trigger a reaction in the tissues of the body and tend to cause adjacent bits to stick to each other – not usually on a permanent basis but certainly for some weeks or months.
