Adhesive capsulitis, another name for frozen shoulder, is a condition that affects the shoulder and radiates pain down the arm. Frozen shoulder causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder, which over time becomes very difficult to move.
There is restriction in the gleno-humoral movement, and it is a common condition affecting adults of any age. In most cases, there is no apparent cause, but it is typically related to overuse or injury. Physiotherapy is the best treatment option, aside from some minor medication.
SYMPTOMS OF FROZEN SHOULDER
Each stage of the three-stage frozen shoulder development process usually takes several months.
- Any shoulder movement results in pain, and the range of motion begins to be restricted.
- When a shoulder is in the “frozen stage,” the pain may start to go away but the shoulder stiffens and becomes harder to use.
- Thawing stage-The shoulder starts to move more freely.
Some people experience nighttime pain that gets worse, occasionally disturbing their sleep.
CAUSES OF FROZEN SHOULDER
Frozen shoulder is a condition in which the connective tissue capsule that surrounds the shoulder joint, which contains the bones, ligaments, and tendons, thickens and becomes too tight, preventing the shoulder joint from moving.
RISK FACTORS OF FROZEN SHOULDER
Frozen shoulder risk may be increased by specific factors.
Age and sex
Frozen shoulder is more prevalent in people over the age of 40, especially women.
Immobility or reduced mobility
A person is more likely to develop frozen shoulder if their shoulder has been immobile for an extended period of time or has lost some of its range of motion.
- Rotator cuff injury
- Broken arm
- Stroke
- Recovery from surgery
Systemic Diseases
Frozen shoulder appears to be more common in individuals with specific diseases, including those that may increase risk:
- Diabetes
- Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)
- Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
- Cardiovascular disease
- Tuberculosis
- Parkinson’s disease
HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE FOR FROZEN SHOULDER
**FERRUM MET-**Useful for frozen shoulder with joints cracking, especially in the shoulder, with an overwhelming urge to bend the arm and intense pain. There is sudden cramping or tearing pain in the limbs.
Useful for stiffness of the shoulder joint and for torn ligaments, particularly in the shoulder where there is difficult joint mobility.
Rhustox is helpful for hot, painful, and swollen joints. There is tearing pain, especially in tendons and ligaments, which spread over a large surface of the nape of the neck. Pain is aggravated by blowing, jarring, riding, drinking ice cold beverages, wet, rainy weather, starting motion, resting, and exerting oneself.
RUTA G is a very effective medication for bruised bones, injured joints, and sore tendons. Overuse of joints can weaken ligaments and joints, causing fibrositis, bursitis, and tendonitis as well as tendonitis, tendonitis, and frozen shoulders.
SANGUINERIA CAN-Usefulfor right shoulder rheumatism. There is a sharp pain or stiffness in the right deltoid that is made worse by raising and turning the arm. The pain is worse at night.
