Treat Your Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is stiffness, pain, and limited range of movement in your shoulder. It may happen after an injury or overuse or from a disease such as diabetes or a stroke. The tissues around the joint stiffen, scar tissue forms, and shoulder movements become difficult and painful. The condition usually comes on slowly, then goes away slowly over the course of a year or more.
Inside Story
Your shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). The head of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket in your shoulder blade. Strong connective tissue, called the shoulder capsule, surrounds the joint. To help your shoulder move more easily, synovial fluid lubricates the shoulder capsule and the joint.
In frozen shoulder, the shoulder capsule thickens and becomes tight. Stiff bands of tissue — called adhesions — develop. In many cases, there is less synovial fluid in the joint.
Causes
- Pain in the shoulder
- Injury to the shoulder
- Chronic health condition, such as diabetes or a stroke.
- Any shoulder problem can lead to frozen shoulder if you do not work to keep full range of motion.
- Diabetes. Frozen shoulder occurs much more often in people with diabetes, affecting 10% to 20% of these individuals. The reason for this is not known.
- Other diseases- hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease, and cardiac disease.
- Immobilization -Frozen shoulder can develop after a shoulder has been immobilized for a period of time due to surgery, a fracture, or other injury.
- Most often in people 40 to 70 years old.
- More often in women (especially in postmenopausal women) than in men.
- Most often in people with chronic diseases.
Symptoms
- Pain due to frozen shoulder is usually dull or aching.
- Pain can be worsened with attempted motion.
- The pain is usually located over the outer shoulder area and sometimes the upper arm.
- Restricted motion or stiffness in the shoulder.
- Affected individual cannot move the shoulder normally.
- Motion is also limited when someone else attempts to move the shoulder for the patient.
Stages in frozen shoulder
Stage one: In the “freezing” stage, the patient develops a slow onset of pain. As the pain worsens, the shoulder loses motion. This stage may last from six weeks to nine months.
Stage two: The “frozen” stage is marked by a slow improvement in pain, but the stiffness remains. This stage generally lasts four months to nine months.
Stage three: The final stage is the “thawing,” during which shoulder motion slowly returns toward normal. This generally lasts five months to 26 month.
Examination
Physical examination -
Your doctor may suspect frozen shoulder if a physical exam reveals limited shoulder movement.
Radiograph -
An X-ray may be done to see whether symptoms are from another condition such as arthritis or a broken bone.

I was detected with a brain tumour glioblastoma 2 yrs back and I was operated 1 yr back for the same. Since 6 months I have been on Chemotherapy. Because of tumor my left side is completely paralyzed and I was not able to walk, get up from the bed and transfer myself.
