I'm hoping to get some help from other forum users about frozen shoulder. I'm wondering what age range it usually occurs? I know it's a common shoulder injury and can be quite painful, but I'm trying to find out the average age that it affects people. Is there anyone here who has any experience with frozen shoulder or knows someone who does? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

What is Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition in which the shoulder joint becomes stiff, painful, and difficult to move. It usually develops slowly and can last for several months or even years. The exact cause of frozen shoulder is not known, but it is believed to be related to changes in the shoulder joint capsule, resulting in inflammation and scarring.

Who is at Risk?

Frozen shoulder is more common in people between the ages of 40 and 60, and it is more likely to occur in people with diabetes, thyroid disease, heart disease, or those who have recently had a stroke or heart attack.

What are the Symptoms?

The most common symptom of frozen shoulder is a gradual decrease in range of motion in the shoulder. Pain is usually felt in the shoulder when moving it, and may be accompanied by aching or stiffness. Other symptoms may include difficulty sleeping on the affected side and a decrease in the ability to reach overhead.

How is it Diagnosed?

Frozen shoulder is typically diagnosed by a doctor after a physical examination and review of the patient’s medical history. X-rays may be taken to check for any other conditions that could be causing the symptoms.

How is it Treated?

Treatment for frozen shoulder typically includes physical therapy, medications to reduce pain and inflammation, and possibly corticosteroid injections. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to reduce scarring and improve range of motion.

Frozen shoulder typically occurs between the ages of 40 and 70. It is most common in people aged 40-60, and is more prevalent in women than men. It is also more common in people with diabetes, thyroid issues, and cardiovascular disease. In some cases, it can occur earlier if a person has experienced an injury or surgery to the shoulder that has caused the shoulder to become immobilized.

Frozen shoulder typically occurs in adults between the ages of 40 and 60, although it can occur in people of any age. It is more common in people with diabetes, and in those who have had a shoulder injury or surgery, or who have had their arm in a sling for a prolonged period. In some cases, the cause is unknown. Treatment typically involves physical therapy, medications, or a combination of both. In some cases, a corticosteroid injection or a surgical procedure may be necessary.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that causes pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the shoulder joint. It typically affects people aged 40 to 60, with women more likely to be affected than men. Symptoms usually begin gradually and worsen over time. The condition may last up to three years in some people, although it often resolves on its own.

Frozen shoulder is thought to be caused by a combination of factors, including injury, inactivity, age-related changes, and underlying medical conditions. Inactivity can cause shoulder tissues to stiffen, making it more difficult to move the shoulder joint. Age-related changes can weaken the shoulder joint, making it more prone to injury. Certain medical conditions, including diabetes, thyroid disease, and heart disease, can also increase the risk of developing frozen shoulder.

Treatment for frozen shoulder typically involves physical therapy, exercise, and medication. Physical therapy can help to stretch and strengthen the shoulder joint, while exercises can help to improve flexibility and range of motion. Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help to reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be necessary to treat the condition.

In summary, frozen shoulder typically affects people aged 40 to 60, with women more likely to be affected than men. It is caused by a combination of factors, including injury, inactivity, age-related changes, and underlying medical conditions. The condition is treated with physical therapy, exercise, and medications. In some cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be necessary to treat the condition.

Frozen shoulder is a painful and disabling condition that typically affects people between the ages of 40 and 60. The condition usually develops slowly over time, and symptoms can worsen over the course of several months. The exact cause is unclear, but it is thought to be related to an injury or trauma to the shoulder, or a decrease in the body's production of synovial fluid. Frozen shoulder can also occur as a result of certain medical conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or a heart attack. Treatment typically involves physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and, in some cases, steroid injections.
