Another technique sometimes used is known as hydrodilatation. This procedure involves injecting your shoulder joint with a sterile saline (salt water) solution. Sometimes, corticosteroid or local anaesthetic is added to this solution. The purpose of this is to ‘stretch’ your joint capsule and improve the ‘freezing’ stage of the condition.

Bursitis is often caused by overuse and the inflammation will continue unless the particular activity or movement is stopped.

If your doctor diagnoses frozen shoulder, they may check for other conditions associated with frozen shoulder, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Authors' conclusions:  There is "silver" level evidence that arthrographic distension with saline and steroid provides short-term benefits in pain, range of movement and function in adhesive capsulitis

A bursa is a soft tissue space between two structures, such as bone, muscle, tendon and skin, which allows the structures to slide over one another.

Sometimes, frozen shoulder develops after a shoulder or arm injury. It can also develop after certain surgeries on the upper body, including shoulder surgery and open-heart surgery.

During the ‘freezing’ phase, it’s a good idea to minimise driving as much as you can, as this can make your symptoms worse.

This stage is sometimes described in two parts — the first being the ‘painful’ stage, followed by ‘freezing’ or stiffness in the shoulder joint, as the covering of the shoulder joint becomes ‘stuck’ to the bones.

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and examine your shoulder. Special tests, including imaging tests such as x-ray, are not usually needed to diagnose frozen shoulder.

Your shoulder joint includes your upper arm bone (humerus) and collarbone (clavicle) and their associated ligaments and tendons. These are contained in a covering or ‘capsule’ of connective tissue.

Corticosteroids are a type of anti-inflammatory medicine. Your doctor may suggest corticosteroid injections in your shoulder joint to reduce the inflammation in the joint and improve your symptoms. These are considered safe and effective, especially if you have this treatment at an early stage of the condition.

Shoulder pain is common in our community. The good news is that with appropriate treatment pain will improve so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy.

While you are in surgery, your surgeon may also move and stretch your shoulder joint in specific ways. This is known as ‘manipulation’. This treatment can also help improve your pain and stiffness.

Frozen shoulder can’t be prevented, but early treatment can help relieve your symptoms and reduce the time until it resolves.

A particular type of keyhole surgery doesn’t appear to be any more beneficial than placebo surgery when it comes to shoulder impingement syndrome.

Adhesive capsulitis

Surgery can be used to try to ‘unstick’ the frozen shoulder capsule. This procedure is known as arthroscopy. During arthroscopy, your surgeon will make a few small incisions (cuts) around your shoulder joint to insert a camera and surgical instruments for the procedure. Arthroscopy is usually done under a general anaesthetic.

Frozenshouldersymptoms

Frozen shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis) is a painful musculoskeletal (muscle and bone) condition that affects the shoulder joint.

Shoulderimpingement syndrome

Not much is known about the best way to treat frozen shoulder. However, most people notice an improvement in their symptoms with treatments like:

In this stage, you may experience the gradual build-up of severe pain in your shoulder whenever you move the joint. Many people have difficulty finding a position that feels comfortable, especially when trying to sleep.

Frozen shoulder can cause long periods of pain and stiffness that affect your day-to-day life. If left untreated, the condition can continue for several years. Even with treatment, it is common to experience symptoms for a long time.

Bursitis inflammation causes pains such as "tennis elbow". It's caused by repeated movement of certain joints and can be treated at home.

You may still experience pain with lifting your shoulder and moving your arm backwards away from your body (known as external rotation of the shoulder joint).

Physiotherapy can be a very useful treatment for frozen shoulder. Your physiotherapist may suggest different strategies to improve your pain and your shoulder’s mobility. These may vary depending on which stage of frozen shoulder you are currently experiencing.

Frozen shoulder can be very painful. Your doctor will discuss different options for pain relief, including regular paracetamol, with stronger pain-relief medicines for when your pain is severe. Many pain relief medicines have side effects, so make sure to take them exactly as directed, and see your doctor if you experience side effects that worry you.
