Use of "shut-in"
Hi
Is this sentence natural English--I mean, is the use of shut-in common among native speakers?
He could not move on his own and was almost a shut-in.
Thanks,
Tom

If you mean to say that he was rarely able to leave his house (like a recluse), no - at least, it's not an expression that we use in the UK.
