Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition marked by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. The symptoms typically begin gradually and worsen over time.

Causes of Frozen Shoulder

The exact causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood, and there is no direct connection to arm dominance or occupation. However, certain factors can increase the risk of developing this condition:

• Diabetes: Frozen shoulder is more common in people with diabetes, though the reason for this is not well understood. Diabetic patients with frozen shoulder often experience greater stiffness and a longer duration of the condition before improvement (thawing).
• Other Diseases: Conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson’s disease, and cardiac disease are also associated with frozen shoulder.
• Immobilization: The condition can develop after the shoulder has been immobilized for an extended period, such as after surgery, a fracture, or other injuries.

Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder develops in three stages, each lasting several months:

• Freezing Stage: Pain occurs with any movement of the shoulder, and the range of motion starts to decrease.
• Frozen Stage: Pain may lessen, but the shoulder becomes stiffer, and using the shoulder becomes more difficult.
• Thawing Stage: The range of motion gradually improves.
