Frozen shoulder is also known as bicipital tendinitis and periarthritis of the shoulder. This is due to inflammation and usually occurs because of excessive use. Extending your arm to the side often produces pain. Movement of the joint will then be very limited, even after the inflammation subsides.
Treatment includes anti-inflammatory medications.
If it is severe, corticosteroids may be administered by mouth or injected into the shoulder joint. If your question was not addressed, please click here.
