Frozen Shoulder

The term ‘acute capsulitis’ is colloquially known as frozen shoulder, and its early symptom is limited motion. You possibly have troubles with the diverse motions of your shoulder, especially, if you are finding it difficult to reach across your body, or behind your back, or lifting your arm above your head.

Inflexibility and pain in the shoulder not making routine motions possible are the characteristics of a frozen shoulder. The shoulder may become absolutely stiff or frozen (hence the label of this condition) or be afflicted with severe pain in critical cases.

Who can be affected by frozen shoulder?
