Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness, excessive pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and can be quite challenging to deal with. 😔 This condition occurs when the connective tissues surrounding the shoulder joint become thickened and tight, leading to inflammation and a loss of flexibility. Activities like reaching, lifting, and even simple daily tasks such as washing your hair, driving, and working out can become difficult and painful. But fear not! Understanding a frozen shoulder is the first step toward finding relief. While the exact cause is not always clear, factors such as previous shoulder injuries, prolonged immobility, and certain medical conditions may contribute to its development. The good news is that a frozen shoulder is usually temporary, although it can last for months or even years, Mine was 17 months long. With the right approach and treatment, you can regain mobility and alleviate discomfort. Seeking medical advice from a healthcare professional is essential for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. They may recommend a combination of physical therapy, pain management techniques, and exercises to improve flexibility and strength. Remember, patience and consistency are key. Stay positive and committed to your recovery journey. With proper care and support, you can overcome a frozen shoulder and restore full functionality to your shoulder joint. Browse through my board to discover helpful tips, exercises, and products that can assist you on your path to healing and regaining your shoulder's freedom of movement.
