Periarthritis, also known as shoulder periarthritis, commonly known as condensing shoulder, fifty shoulders. Gradually produce pain at the shoulders, and at night, it gradually worsens. The function of the shoulder joints is limited and gradually increases. After reaching a certain degree, it gradually eases until the final complete recovery is the main manifestation of the shoulder joint capsule and its surrounding ligaments, tendons and tendons. Chronic bursitis specific inflammation. Periarthritis of the shoulder is a common condition with shoulder joint pain and inconvenience as the main symptoms. The prevalence of the disease is about 50 years old. The incidence of females is slightly higher than that of men, and is more common in manual workers. Without effective treatment, it may seriously affect the functional activities of the shoulder joints. The shoulder joints can have a wide range of tenderness, and radiation to the neck and elbows, but also the degree of deltoid muscle atrophy.
One of the symptoms of frozen shoulder: shoulder pain
At the beginning of the pain, it was a paroxysmal chronic attack. Afterwards, the pain in the shoulder gradually increased or sore pain occurred, or the pain was stabbed and sustained. After the climate change or tiredness, the pain increases, and the pain can spread to the neck and upper limbs (especially the elbow). When the shoulder is accidentally bumped or pulled, it often causes tear-like pain. The shoulder pain is light and heavy. Periarthritis is characterized by a large number of patients, often complained of awakening late at night, can not become paralyzed, in particular, can not lie to the side of the affected side, this situation is more evident due to blood deficiency; if due to cold caused by pain, then Particularly sensitive to climate change.
The second symptom of frozen shoulder: limited shoulder activity
The shoulder joint movement in various directions can be limited during the occurrence of periarthritis, especially in the external exhibition, the lifting, the internal and external rotation. As the disease progresses, long-term use will cause the joint capsule and shoulder soft tissue adhesion, muscle strength gradually decreased, plus the patellar ligament fixed in the shortened internal rotation and other factors, so that the shoulder joint initiative and passive activities in all directions All of them are limited. When the shoulder joints are abducted, a typical "shoulder shoulder" phenomenon occurs. In particular, combing, dressing, washing the face, akimbo and other movements are difficult to accomplish. In severe cases, elbow joint function may also be affected. Touch the ipsilateral shoulder, especially when the arm is extended.
Third Symptoms of Periarthritis: Muscle Spasm and Atrophy
The deltoid, supraspinatus, and other muscles around the shoulder may appear paralyzed in the early period of periarthritis. Disuse muscle atrophy may occur in the late stage, forming shoulder protrusions, inconvenience on the lift, adverse back bends, etc. Alleviated. The deltoid muscles have mild atrophy and trapezius tendons. The scapulohumeral periarthritis of the upper tendon, biceps brachii longus, shorthead tendon and deltoid muscle can be obviously tenderness. Shoulder joints are most likely to exhibit outward rotation, external rotation, and posterior extension. A small number of adductors and internal rotations are also limited, but the flexion is limited.
The fourth symptom of frozen shoulder: cold
The patient's shoulder is cold, and many patients use a cotton pad to wrap shoulders all the year round. Even in the hot summer days, the shoulder does not dare to blow.
Five symptoms of frozen shoulder: tenderness
Most of the patients had obvious tender points around the shoulder joint. The tender points were mostly at the biceps brachii sulcus, the acromioclavicular sac, the coracoid process, and the supraspinatus muscle attachment site.
Specific prevention methods
Actively participate in physical exercise
Activities such as running, medical gymnastics, radio exercises, Tai Chi, martial arts, aerobics for middle-aged and older people, rowing movements, lunge movements, and shoulder-related functional activities are all good preventive exercises.
Strengthen immunity
Strengthen nutrition, enhance physical fitness and improve immune function. For people who are frail, they can be injected with gamma globulin and other drugs.
Prevent winds that are too persistent
Especially in summer, the weather is hot and excessive sweating. If after the sweat, under the fan or in a cool and ventilated place, under the exposure of the shoulders, blowing too long can easily lead to the occurrence of frozen shoulder. Therefore, in the warm or hot season, it is necessary to prevent long-lasting winds.
Cold protection
Strengthen winter warmth and prevent shoulder joints from being exposed at night.
Habitually living in cold or wet land or working in underground coal mines, it is necessary to take labor protection measures to prevent cold and moisture, and to avoid excessive strain on shoulder joints.
hot shower
After the rain, a hot bath should be taken immediately to reach the full body slightly sweating.
Avoid injuries
In daily life, care should be taken to avoid trauma. If injured, treat it immediately.
