Frozen shoulder (Adhesive capsulitis)

The most common symptoms are progressive restriction of shoulder movement and pain, often worsening at night and interfering with daily activities.

Orthopedics (Orthopaedic Surgery) or Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation are typical first points of contact; a multidisciplinary team including physiotherapists or rheumatologists may be involved if needed.

Duration varies by person. Symptoms can last several months and in some cases more than a year; exact timing depends on individual factors and clinical management.

Seek urgent care for sudden severe pain, fever, noticeable redness around the joint, or rapidly worsening symptoms after an injury.
