Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness

and pain in your shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over

time and then resolve, usually within one to three years.

Your risk of developing frozen shoulder increases if you're recovering from a medical

condition or procedure that prevents you from moving your arm — such as a stroke or a

mastectomy.

Treatment for frozen shoulder involves range-of-motion exercises and, sometimes,

corticosteroids and numbing medications injected into the joint capsule. In a small

percentage of cases, arthroscopic surgery may be indicated to loosen the joint capsule so that

it can move more freely.

It's unusual for frozen shoulder to recur in the same shoulder, but some people can develop

it in the opposite shoulder.

Symptoms

• Freezing stage. Any movement of your shoulder causes pain, and your shoulder's 
• range of motion starts to become limited.

• Frozen stage. Pain may begin to diminish during this stage. However, your shoulder 
• becomes stiffer, and using it becomes more difficult.

• Thawing stage. The range of motion in your shoulder begins to improve.

Risk Factor

• Rotator cuff injury

• Broken arm

• Stroke

• Recovery from surgery

Frozen shoulder typically develops slowly, and in three stages. Each stage can last a number

of months.

For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting sleep

The bones, ligaments and tendons that make up your shoulder joint are encased in a capsule

of connective tissue. Frozen shoulder occurs when this capsule thickens and tightens around

the shoulder joint, restricting its movement.

Doctors aren't sure why this happens to some people, although it's more likely to occur in

people who have diabetes or those who recently had to immobilize their shoulder for a

long period, such as after surgery or an arm fracture.

Certain factors may increase your risk of developing frozen shoulder.

People 40 and older, particularly women, are more likely to have frozen shoulder.

People who've had prolonged immobility or reduced mobility of the shoulder are at higher

risk of developing frozen shoulder. Immobility may be the result of many factors.
