Did you know? The term “frozen shoulder” is so popular that middle-aged and elderly patients tend to attribute their shoulder joint problems to frozen shoulder, thus delaying treatment. In fact, the real frozen shoulder only accounts for 10%-15% of shoulder pain patients. Frozen shoulder is commonly referred to as “frozen shoulder” or “fifty shoulder.” Frozen shoulder is a chronic, specific inflammation of the shoulder capsule and its surrounding ligaments, tendons and bursa. In Frozen Shoulder, the bag becomes smaller and tighter due to inflammation, limiting the movement of the shoulder joint. The symptoms are gradual pain in the shoulder, more so at night, and progressive aggravation. Generally the symptoms will be relieved automatically in 6 to 18 months after the onset of the disease, and about 50% of patients can recover on their own. If the shoulder stiffness does not improve after 6 months of conservative treatment, arthroscopic release is possible to restore the range of motion of the joint. Some doctors also use the method of manual release after anesthesia, but manual release can easily lead to tearing of the rotator cuff, glenoid labrum and other important structures, and may even lead to humeral fracture. Warm tip: When you have similar shoulder discomfort, do not believe in “prescriptions” or “experience”, but go to a regular hospital and ask a specialist.
