Frozen shoulders
As Dr. Stark explained, this particular injury is exactly what it sounds like. “People who suffer from frozen shoulder usually come in with two main symptoms: severe stiffness and a difficult inability to move their shoulder as they normally would, with different kinds of shoulder pain.”
It’s medically known as adhesive capsulitis, the frozen shoulder appears when the connective tissue that lines the shoulder joint is thickened and inflamed.
It’s still unknown why this happens, nor why it specifically targets middle-aged women. There might be other factors why you might be more at risk of suffering from this disease.
For example, as much as 20% of people who suffer from diabetes might suffer from a frozen shoulder at some point, and those who have thyroid problems or even Parkinson’s disease are also vulnerable to this particular pain.
