Have you been wondering if you have frozen shoulder? Perhaps you have been experiencing pain in your shoulder for some time now but are not entirely sure if you hurt it at any time or maybe you are convinced that there was no single event that occurred that could result in you hurting it? Many people who suffer from a common complaint that concerns the shoulder have no recollection of ever hurting their shoulder in the first place. In fact, this is one of the key indicators as to what this problem is and more times than not the patient will seek the advice of an orthopedic specialist and learn what they have is indeed a frozen shoulder.

The frozen shoulder has no known cause. What a frustrating condition to have when you haven’t done anything to necessarily warrant the pain that it causes. In fact the reason why many of us do not seek out medical attention for this condition is because we can’t imagine that we have done any thing particularly injury provoking to ourselves to warrant the pain and therefore believe that it will simply dissipate and go away.

Unfortunately this is not true and many times these types of shoulder complaints will actually worsen before they get better. The shoulder is one of the most flexible of joints in the human body. In fact, consisting of a simple ball and socket design the shoulders makeup has been imitated in construction and engineering for centuries. The problem with the shoulder joint is that it has a rather extensive labyrinth of muscles and tendons that allow for the shoulder to remain stable. When these are damaged the shoulder can become extremely painful and the ability to heal itself is greatly reduced. Seeking the advice and treatment plan from an orthopedic surgeon or doctor is the most beneficial for a frozen shoulder complaint.
