HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR FROZEN SHOULDER
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..
It's unusual for frozen shoulder to recur in the same shoulder,
but some people can develop it in the opposite shoulder
Cause
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
Symptoms
Frozen shoulder typically develops slowly, and
in three stages. Each stage can last a number of months.
·
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.
For some people, the pain worsens at night,
sometimes disrupting sleep.
