SHOULDER PAIN



                                                        

FROZEN SHOULDER
                                                                                                ---- Dr.Sudha Prasad

 Are you between 40 and 60 years of age? Then you are more likely to have frozen shoulder. When the shoulder hurts, people tend to restrict movements at the joint. This immobility can worsen the problem.


Usual presentation is pain in the shoulder, upper arm, difficulty in lying down on the affected side thus interfering with sleep.  Progressive reduction in movement at the shoulder, disuse of the joint and surrounding muscles result in stiffness.


Simple everyday tasks like combing the hair, dressing up or reaching over head will become extremely difficult. This condition is popularly called as frozen shoulder.


There are different causes for shoulder pain, of which, osteoarthritis is commonest. Here, the lubricant is reduced and the joint becomes stiff and painful.

Specific blood tests, supported by certain radiological tests are required for diagnosis and treatment. Earlier the patient consults the pain specialist, better will be the prognosis.    
               
WHAT COULD BE THE REASON FOR SHOULDER PAIN IN THESE PATIENTS? 


Mr. Gopal, a throw ball player complains of pain in the small hard lump felt on his right shoulder. It hurts him more while reaching across the chest and especially on first awakening.


Manju is employed as a painter in house construction work. He has shoulder pain which comes down to his upper arm.   He also complains of   fatigue and stiffness. The doctor finds out that there is no problem with his shoulder joint. 


Pain can also be due to prolonged lifting weights, repetitive tasks involving movement at the shoulder and arm  and fall on the shoulder .


Thus, the joint itself or other structures surrounding it or other structures surrounding it are  responsible for pain.

Do not neglect pain any where since it is a warning signal for you to get corrected.
