Frozen shoulder is a common condition that affects the ability to move the shoulder. It is also referred to as adhesive capsulitis.
Frozen shoulder causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder, which reduces normal movement in the joint. In some cases, it can prevent movement in the shoulder altogether. Usually, only one shoulder is affected, although in approximately one in five cases the condition spreads to the other shoulder.
Most cases of frozen shoulder occur in people between the ages of 40 and 60, and it is more common in women than in men.
The exact cause of frozen shoulder is not fully understood, although it is more common among people who have diabetes or heart disease. However, frozen shoulder is not related to arthritis, and other joints are not affected. This condition, for which an exact cause is unknown, recent shoulder surgery can also cause a pattern of pain and limitation similar to frozen shoulder. Intermittent periods of use may cause inflammation.
Frozen shoulder, medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed and stiff, and grows together with abnormal bands of tissue, called adhesions, greatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain.
Pain is usually constant, worse at night, when the weather is colder, and along with the restricted movement can make even small tasks impossible. Certain movements can cause sudden onset of tremendous pain and cramping that can last several minutes.
