What is "frozen shoulder"?!


Question: I saw that term on a sign for an acupuncture studio and I was wondering if I have that?


Answers: I saw that term on a sign for an acupuncture studio and I was wondering if I have that?

I had frozen shoulder syndrome as a side effect of some medication I was taking a couple of years ago. The pain in my shoulders began gradually, and then increased to the extent that I had to take pain meds. I also couldn't raise my arms, and had trouble getting dressed and driving a car (turning the steering wheel was difficult). I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon who informed me that F.S.S. usually goes away on its own once the med that's causing it is discontinued, or I could have a procedure in which I'd be anesthetized, and my shoulders manipulated to break up deposits/tissues responsible for the loss of range of motion and pain.

I went off the meds about a year and a half ago, the pain decreased and I have OK range of motion now. It still hurts sometimes when I first wake up, or have been sitting or standing still for a while; kind of like arthritis.

Hope this helps- best wishes to you.

No your probably thinking of the cold shoulder with ghosts hovering over you.

when someone doesnt talk to and always ingores u

A frozen shoulder is when your shoulder is so painful that you can't move it too well, such as in severe arthritis, trauma to the shoulder joint or other conditions. Sometimes medication can "unfreeze" it, but most of the time one has to be put to sleep, and the shoulder manipulated to undo the freezing. The freezing of the shoulder comes from inflammatory adhesions that develop in the shoulder joint as a result of disease or trauma.
