Yes, capsulitis can go away. It is a condition in which the capsule of a joint becomes inflamed, resulting in pain, stiffness, and limited movement of the affected joint. It is most commonly seen in the shoulder, but can also affect the hip, knee, and elbow.
The good news is that capsulitis is usually a self-limiting condition and will usually resolve on its own within a few weeks with conservative treatment. Treatment typically includes rest, ice, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and possibly corticosteroid injections. In some cases, a shoulder sling may be necessary to help rest the joint and allow it to heal.
If the condition is not responding to conservative treatment, or if it is severe, surgery may be necessary to release the joint capsule. In some cases, arthroscopic surgery may be performed to help reduce inflammation and scarring.
In most cases, however, capsulitis will resolve with conservative treatment and patients can return to their normal activities. It is important to follow the advice of your doctor and physical therapist in order to ensure a full recovery.
