Simplified Solutions for your Hurting shoulder (Frozen Shoulder)



Are you getting your shoulder pain worst day by day? Is your shoulder getting stiff? These are the symptoms suggestive of the frozen shoulder. Just like an ice in refrigerator, your shoulder is getting frozen causing pain, stiffness and ultimately difficulty in daily living activities. This is a condition in which the surrounding structure of shoulder joint (i.e., Capsule of joint) gets swollen and tightened, causing pain and stiffness in shoulder.
More incidences are seen in women than men. You are more likely to get this condition if your age is between 40 to 60 years. Your risk might also go up if you’re in the process of recovering from a medical condition like a stroke, or surgery like a mastectomy that keeps you away from moving your arm. A diabetic patient is more prone to get this condition. Though only 10% to 20% diabetic patients might have frozen shoulder.

Decide in which stage you are!
