Frozen shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by pain, stiffness and restricted mobility in the shoulder joint. 

Frozen shoulder is mostly seen in people between 40 and 60 years old. Women tend to get affected more than men. 

The exact cause remains elusive, but inflammation and the formation of adhesions within the joint are contributing factors. Individuals with diabetes, thyroid disorders, rheumatoid arthritis or those recovering from prolonged immobility due to surgery or injury are more susceptible. 

Treatment often combines pain relief medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physical therapy to improve range of motion. In severe cases, procedures like joint distension or manipulation under anesthesia may be considered.
