Frozen Shoulder

Without any particular injury, tissue inside the shoulder undergoes degenerative change and becomes inflamed. It commonly appears after 50, though lately it is far from rare in the 30s and 40s.

Frozen Shoulder

Q. Why does frozen shoulder develop?

Often from repeated use of the shoulder or from changes that accumulate with age. It can also follow another condition.

📝 Detailed Answer

Repeating the same movement enough to strain the shoulder
A previous tear in the shoulder muscles
Degenerative change in the shoulder muscles with age
Surgery or injury
Inflammatory change in the shoulder

It can also follow on in people with another condition, such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, cerebral haemorrhage or a respiratory condition. So we do not look at the shoulder alone; we ask about your general condition alongside.
