Etymology
The term "frozen shoulder" is derived from the English words "frozen," meaning immobilized or unchanging, and "shoulder," referring to the human joint connecting the arm to the body. "Adhesive capsulitis" is derived from the Latin words "adhaesivus," meaning sticky, and "capsula," meaning little box or container, combined with the Greek word "itis," which is used in medicine to denote inflammation.
Symptoms
Symptoms of frozen shoulder include persistent pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder. These symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time, and then resolve, usually within a one to three-year period.
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 occur more often in women than in men. It may also be more common in people with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or thyroid disorders.
Treatment
Treatment for frozen shoulder typically involves physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, surgery. The goal of treatment is to control pain and restore normal movement in the shoulder.
