Frozen shoulder causes and treatment
Frozen shoulder is a condition that affects the joint, leading to severe stiffness and pain, which restricts arm movement and impacts daily activities. The condition develops in three stages: an initial gradual pain that worsens with movement, followed by intense stiffness, and finally a recovery phase that lasts several months. Causes include prior shoulder injury, lack of movement after surgery or injury, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and aging, especially after the age of forty. Treatment depends on the patient's condition and may include pain relievers, physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and sometimes surgical intervention or arthroscopy, along with shoulder exercises to reduce stiffness and improve mobility.
