Welcome, @russet3. Good question about whether adhesive capsulitis (Frozen shouler) cause nerve pain. I moved your question to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read the previous posts and connect easily with members like @auntieoakley @artscaping @lioness @that_girl @jaysnh721 @Erinmfs @deanna2 @collierga @heather47 @anniebrook @drt @tsch @alive @deonmarie @vic83 @angie13. They may be able to share whether their experience with frozen shoulder also involved nerve entrapment or radiating nerve pain.

Russet, have you been to see a physical therapist? Might the issue in the sciatica be a result of posture adjustments or compensation due to the shoulder pain?

Thanks, @colleenyoung . I imagine it could be posture or compensation. I've tried to adjust my stance myself, with inconclusive results.
I had a bad experience with PT, so I don't completely trust it. This whole problem started last winter with something that appeared to be tendinitis. My physician recommended PT. The therapist worked me pretty hard, and after eight or nine weeks, my shoulder seized up. The therapist didn't know what the problem was, didn't recognize a frozen shoulder. I stuck with the treatments for a couple more weeks and then left, and it's been downhill ever since. I have wondered if PT made things worse instead of better in the early stage.
On the other hand, I have a friend who knows a PT who specializes in shoulder issues, so I may give that person a try.
