What Is a Frozen Shoulder?
Frozen shoulder is a condition that affects your shoulder joint. It usually involves pain and stiffness that develops
gradually, gets worse and then finally goes away. This can take anywhere from a year to 3 years.
Your shoulder is made up of three bones that form a ball-and-socket joint. They are your upper arm
(humerus), shoulder blade (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle). There’s also tissue surrounding your
shoulder joint that holds everything together. This is called the shoulder capsule.
With frozen shoulder, the capsule becomes so thick and tight that it’s hard to move. Bands of scar
tissue form and there’s less of a liquid called synovial fluid to keep the joint lubricated. These things
limit motion even more.
Frozen shoulder is generally divided into 3 phases
1-Pain
2-Freezing – Diifficulty in elevating the arm or taking hand behind the back.
3- Thawing- Final phases the shoulder loosens up,the movement are restored.

arm.
