Your shoulder is a combination of three bones which form a ball-and-socket joint. These three bones<\/a> are upper arm (humerus), shoulder blade (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle). There\u2019s also tissue shoulder capsule which surrounds your shoulder joint and holds everything together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the condition of the frozen shoulder, the capsule becomes so tight and thick which make it hard to move. Due to this, the bands of scar tissue form and there\u2019s a loss of liquid called synovial fluid keep the joint lubricated. These things make the motion even more difficult.<\/p>\n

What are the Symptoms of Frozen Shoulder?<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

This condition typically develops slowly, with these three stages. Each stage can stay even for months.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Freezing Stage.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this stage the movement of your shoulder causes pain<\/a>, and the range of shoulder’s motion becomes limited.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frozen Stage.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pain can start to decrease during this stage. But, your shoulder becomes stiffer, and using it becomes even more difficult.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thawing Stage.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this stage, the range of your shoulder’s motion improves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the Causes of Frozen Shoulder?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Doctors aren’t sure about the exact cause why this happens to some people, but it’s more likely to occur in diabetic people<\/a> or those who recently had to disable shoulder for a long period, like after surgery or an arm fracture.<\/p>\n
