When the patient’s shoulder catches cold and hurts, it may be caused by physiological factors, or it may be caused by degenerative arthritis of the shoulder joint, frozen shoulder and other diseases, and commonly used treatments are general treatment, medication, physical therapy and so on.
1. Physiological factors: when the patient sleeps with his shoulder exposed or lives in a cold and damp environment for a long time, the patient’s shoulder is easy to catch cold and hurt. It is suggested that patients should pay attention to keep their shoulders warm and avoid direct blowing of cold air from air conditioners and fans, which can alleviate the symptoms of cold shoulder pain.
2. Degenerative arthritis of the shoulder joint: When patients suffer from degenerative arthritis of the shoulder joint, the cold shoulder joint will aggravate joint inflammation and exudate fluid in the shoulder joint, resulting in swelling of the shoulder joint, which is easy to cause pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen can be used as prescribed by the doctor to reduce the inflammation of the shoulder joint, thus relieving the symptoms of cold shoulder pain.
3. Frozen shoulder: When patients suffer from frozen shoulder, the pain in the shoulder joint will be aggravated after catching a cold. It is recommended that patients use physical therapy methods such as hot compresses and acupressure to promote blood circulation in the shoulder and relieve the pain caused by cold shoulders.
When the patient has the symptom of cold shoulder pain, it may also be caused by old shoulder joint injury, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases, and it is recommended that the patient consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and standardize the treatment in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
