What is frozen shoulder?

• Also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, a Frozen
  Shoulder is a condition with stiffness and pain
  in your shoulder joint. You start seeing signs
  and symptoms gradually, but it worsens over a
  while. It gradually resolves in one to three
  years, subject to precautions and treatment taken
  on time.
• If you are recovering from medical situations or
  procedures like Mastectomy or a Stroke, then the
  risk of developing a frozen shoulder increases.
  Since, during such procedures, you are not
  allowed to move your shoulder for a longer time.
• The treatment of a Frozen shoulder may include
  some exercises, and at times, some steroids. Many
  times, a doctor may recommend you to have surgery
  done. However, reading this blog till the end
  will give you enough information regarding the
  risk factors, signs and symptoms, and what you
  need to do if you wish to treat the medical
  condition.

How to treat a frozen shoulder?

• Medications - Depending on the pain, your doctor
  may prescribe you pain-killer and
  anti-inflammatory medicines like Aspirin or
  Ibuprofen. However, if the pain is more, they
  might prescribe you heavy medications.
• Physical Therapy - Hiring a physical therapist
  will benefit you in several ways. One of the
  significant benefits is that they teach you
  exercises that can relatively reduce the pain and
  increase the movement of your shoulder.
• Surgery (only if needed) - Most frozen shoulders
  recover independently or using the treatments
  mentioned above. However, in severe cases,
  medical practitioners may ask you to undergo
  surgeries. But this treatment is only suggested
  for extreme cases.
