I went to my AME last week and I got defferred. The Doctor said it was because my medical was expired for a year and I had not been flying. In addition, I reported my back surgery. Both of these things combined meant a defferral to FAA.

Does this thing happen normally, and if the Doctor said he is going to say he says I should pass, then would I.

The whole issue of being defferred was my not having a medical and not flying, with having had surgery.

Any FAR reference to frozen shoulder, can't turn neck? How much? Is there a range of motion test?
