It is also known as adhesive capsulitis.</p> <p>The term "frozen shoulder" is often used incorrectly for arthritis, but these two conditions are unrelated.</p> <p>Frozen shoulder refers specifically to the shoulder joint, while arthritis may refer to other or multiple joints.</p> <p>It commonly affects people aged between 40 and 60 years, and it is more likely in women than in men. It is estimated to affect about 3 percent of people.It can affect one or both shoulders.</p> <h2><strong>Symptoms</strong></h2> <p>The main symptoms of a frozen shoulder are pain and stiffness that make it difficult or impossible to move it.</p> <p>If you have frozen shoulder, you’ll likely feel a dull or achy pain in one shoulder. You might also feel the pain in the shoulder muscles that wrap around the top of your arm. You might feel the same sensation in your upper arm. Your pain could get worse at night, which can make it hard to sleep.</p> <p>You’ll typically go through three phases with a frozen shoulder. Each has its own unique symptoms and timeline.</p> <p>Freezing stage:</p> <ul> <li>You develop a pain (sometimes severe) in your shoulder any time you move it.</li> <li>It slowly gets worse over time and may hurt more at night.</li> <li>This can last anywhere from 6 to 9 months.</li> <li>You’re limited in how far you can move your shoulder.</li> </ul> <p>Frozen stage:</p> <ul> <li>Your pain might get better but your stiffness gets worse.</li> <li>Moving your shoulder becomes more difficult and it becomes harder to get through daily activities.</li> <li>This stage can last 4-12 months.</li> </ul> <p>Thawing stage:</p> <ul> <li>Your range of motion starts to go back to normal.</li> <li>This can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.</li> </ul> <h2>Diagnosis</h2> <p>During the physical exam, your doctor may ask you to move in certain ways to check for pain and evaluate your range of motion (active range of motion). Your doctor might then ask you to relax your muscles while he or she moves your arm (passive range of motion). Frozen shoulder affects both active and passive range of motion.</p>
