Frozen Shoulder is a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. The situation is common among diabetic patients, and in people who keep their arm immobilised for a long time. In frozen shoulder, the shoulder capsule present in between the ball and socket joint of the arm becomes so thick and tight that it makes the shoulder tough to move. Thickening of the shoulder capsule takes more space and thus, less amount of synovial fluid is available to provide the lubricating property. It causes pain and obstructs the shoulder while moving the arms and we call it “frozen shoulder”. It is estimated to affect about 3 per cent of the population.
People with the age range of 40-60 are more likely to face the difficulty of frozen shoulder. It happens more often in women as compared to men. You have more chances to get a frozen shoulder if you are a diabetic patient and if you have other medical problems like heart disease, thyroid, or Parkinson’s syndrome. The risk of frozen shoulder increases if you’re recovering from a medical condition. Especially in those conditions which prevent you from moving your arm like a mastectomy. Anyone having stiffness in the shoulder joint should consult medical attention sooner rather than avoid permanent stiffness.
