ARTHRITIS
FROZEN
SHOULDER
Frozen
shoulder holds a misery factor of 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 and
happens
when body tissues not normally joined develop in the
shoulder
capsule
lead to painful tightening of the joint and the loss of
movement,
which
can last months, even years. It not uncommon after age 60.
The
problem is confused with arthritis and treatment is not
taken.
Arthritis
pain comes and goes but frozen shoulder comes and stays, painful
at
nights and loss of movement makes it impossible to reach out.
When
symptoms come it is critical to see the doctor , now. The
deeper
you
get in the inflammation stage the longer is recovery. Treatment
consists
of
a pain medication, cortisone shots and mainly therapy, that can
be painful.
Continuous
exercise is necessary for months, even years.
