Shoulder pain in people around 50 years old should be considered as having “frozen shoulder”. “Frozen shoulder” is commonly known as “five-zero shoulder”, which is a shoulder pain that occurs when a person is around 50 years old. It is often characterized by pain in one or both shoulders; limited activity, difficulty in completing daily life actions, such as combing hair, wearing (chest) clothes, etc.; inability to sleep on the affected side at night; at a later stage of development, severe muscle atrophy of the affected side of the shoulder, the shoulder is severely limited in activity, like stiffness, the international common diagnostic name is frozen shoulder or “adhesive shoulder capsulitis The common international diagnosis is “frozen shoulder” or “adhesive capsulitis”.  The incidence of “frozen shoulder” is not high, and according to statistics, “frozen shoulder” (frozen shoulder) only accounts for 10% to 15% of the causes of shoulder pain. Most of the other causes of shoulder pain are subacromial impingement, calcific tendonitis, rotator cuff injury, shoulder joint instability (dislocation) and other diseases.  3, “frozen shoulder”, how is the shoulder frozen and how does it hurt?  Usually the cause of the disease is due to the work of the shoulder when you are young, or (love) doing housework to make the shoulder tired, or long-term sports (playing ball), so that the internal tissue of the shoulder is chronically damaged. However, when you are young, because of the body’s strong repair ability, the damage during the day is repaired at night when you are resting, so it does not show the performance of “frozen shoulder”. However, when the body is approaching menopause, because of hormone level changes, the damage to the shoulder during the day and the resulting inflammation cannot be repaired and relieved after resting at night, so the shoulder continues to become inflamed, resulting in shoulder pain and eventually adhesions due to the pain and reluctance of the affected shoulder to move, and the shoulder joint “freezes”.  4.

Some people get good rest after a shoulder pain attack and gradually relieve the pain by keeping the shoulder warm. However, some people cannot stop to rest or do not pay attention to resting their shoulders properly, so the damage inside the shoulder cannot be repaired and the inflammation inside and around the shoulder joint cannot be dissipated, which results in continuous pain; most people do not want or dare to move their shoulders more because of shoulder pain, so over time, the shoulder becomes stiff and “frozen”. The shoulder is not a good idea.  Most people between the ages of 40 and 60 will experience shoulder pain. If you rule out cervical spondylosis, heart disease, gallbladder disease, etc., you will most likely have a “frozen shoulder”. “Freezing shoulder” is often caused by work, including housework, exercise and work. When you have shoulder pain, you should first put down the work in your hands and stop, and stop exercising to give your shoulder a chance to rest.
