frozen shoulders
Adhesive capsulitis condition
Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, with severely restricted range of motion.
The joint capsule thickens and tightens, making even simple movements like reaching or lifting difficult.
The condition typically develops gradually, worsens, then eventually resolves over months or years: She couldn't brush her hair during the worst of her frozen shoulder.
