A Frozen Shoulder Syndrome

I would not even have been slowly lifted his hand is getting harder? You're not alone: ​​the physiotherapy sessions, the highest number of groups given the struggling neck and shoulder pain.

Painful Awakenings:

How do you start the day with Miss Marple Bertram hostel? Exceptionally allows itself in bed with breakfast luxury, and while the poached eggs waiting to review carefully located and up and hissing in pain, slowly at first, gently moving his hands, and as more and more warming up, dissolved in the shoulder, arm stiffness, a little brisk starts in knits. But if you doubt that many of the morning embittering such a painful, temporary disability, I found domestic literary examples. Stephen Black Aunt Julia is so mumbles to himself when he had a sore shoulder wakes up at dawn: "I do not leave dog, not you, not you leave?"

All of these, of course, he noticed this writer, because pain "settled", with almost immobile shoulders revival in the description found credible and realistic based on their own experience. Symptoms of an apt name called "frozen shoulder" syndrome, rheumatic disease of the worst forms occur in the morning after the night's stillness even that will take time, while the person concerned is able to get up and you know the upper arm does move again.

Frozen Shoulder Syndrome:

The shoulder limitation of motion, pain and local sensitivity in addition to the damage on many diseases can be caused, for example, arthritis, osteoarthritis, shoulder bursitis, the discopathy cervical and gout disease may have similar symptoms, which may arise in specific cases. These symptoms are the most common cause of biceps tendonitis, shoulder joint and surrounding connective tissue, tendons and pipes, calcification, inflammation of the joint capsule, adhesion, contraction. The lesion can be acute but may become chronic, may affect only one of the shoulders, but also up to both.

The sensitivity, pain and disability may be such that the patient is unable to raise or page devoted to the arm, the most common actions is hindered: you can not wear sleeves bebújtatni arm or combing raise his hands above his head. The pain after a while it occurs at rest, and trouble, there are those who like to turn their sides to sleep because of a sore shoulder even withstand this pressure. This is the Adhesive capsulitis of the disease, Hungarian aptly known as the "frozen shoulder syndrome".

The Reason Is Unclear:

The arm, shoulder narrowing of the movement, with exact cause of the disease remains unclear. Such changes occur trauma is due to damage, but among the antecedents of frozen shoulder occurs sometimes none. Shoulder surgery could occur after or during prolonged bed rest when the joint is forced immobility for a long time. However, in most cases no specific cause can not be identified, up to indicate the occurrence statistics, frequently accompanied by certain diseases: for example, diabetics, heart disease, thyroid disorders and Parkinson's disease patients repeatedly report such complaints. Not only is the lack of exercise, but too many of its unilateral move loads can increase the formation of the "frozen shoulder" chance: overhead investigators observed a job (for example, painters), and tennis players for throwing athletes are.

A frozen shoulder syndrome with both sexes, all ages may occur (frequency can reach three percent in the adult population), but it has been shown frequently over forty years of age and is more typically a disease of women: two-thirds of those affected are women.

Movement Against Disability ...

The disease has several stages: the first weeks of acute inflammatory stage when, although great pain, but the shoulder still moved well. After months or even half a year may take longer to stiffness in the period when there is less pain and permanent disability. In the third period, the time of dissolution may be delayed up to a year when the reduced joint stiffness. The first time, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed to fight against the unpleasant symptoms, more or less successfully - these cream, gel, patch, a tablet formulation can also be used. After the acute specialist comes to physical therapy and exercise therapy time. Ultrasonic and electromagnetic treatment to the muscles relaxed, the dissolution of calcified nodules or cream when used in a more efficient absorption. Most are, paradoxically, on the move, the professional and dedicated physical therapy can help against the shoulder disability.

The physiotherapists from the shoulder and occupations are most. Here, using cautious and gradual, in all directions, "loosening" warm-up, providing exercises, small balls, rubber ropes, wall bars or a simple gesture lines done without a lot they can do to the shoulder joint and connective tissue in the vicinity stiffness, painful sensitivity would be diluted. The series is advisable to learn and practice at home can also be used.

on graduation and move in all directions it is very important because it is the experience that in the absence of the bench, move unilaterally imposed on the affected area (can be up to no more effort, but also made many gestures) do more harm than good.

The physiotherapy treatment at least as important a component such as pain or inflammation reduction. With the help of the shoulder joint in its case to avoid scarring, shrinking movement. Adhesive capsulitis is definitely the treatment of conservative therapies listed in priority, but sometimes surgical treatment may be necessary.

  1. I suffered from frozen shoulder, which started shortly after a flu shot, and attributed it to that, thinking they must have hit a muscle or something. After a few months of it getting progressively worse, I consulted a doctor who diagnosed frozen shoulder. By that time, I could not reach out to a drive-thru window, fix my hair, or even dress myself. I ended up needing a manipulation done under a general anesthetic, followed by 40 sessions of physical therapy. It took about 18 months before all symptoms were gone. So glad I got it taken care of instead of living with it for the rest of my life!

  2. I believe Physical therapy helps speed up the freezing stage if detected and diagnosed early. Did you receive cortisone shots during PT treatments Mary?
