Etymology

The term "frozen shoulder" is derived from the English words "frozen," meaning made into, covered with, or resembling ice, and "shoulder," referring to the joint connecting the upper arm and the body. "Adhesive capsulitis" is derived from the Latin words "adhaesivus," meaning sticky, and "capsula," meaning little box or container, and the Greek word "itis," meaning inflammation.

Symptoms

Symptoms of a frozen shoulder include persistent pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder. The symptoms can interfere with daily activities and can lead to difficulty sleeping due to pain.

Causes

The causes of frozen shoulder are not fully understood. However, it most commonly affects people between the ages of 40 and 60, and appears to be more common in women and in people with certain medical conditions such as diabetes.

Treatment

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 it can move more freely.
