Frozen Shoulder Causes

Do you suffer with shoulder problems or more specifically frozen shoulder? If so you are not alone, as here at Amplebosom.com we hear from an increasing amount of ladies who are having shoulder problems and therefore finding a suitable fitting and comfortable bra is a real issue.

Here is an excerpt from the NHS Direct Factsheet on the casues of frozen shoulder which you may find useful, for the full factsheet, visit http://www.cks.nhs.uk/patient_information_leaflet/Frozen_Shoulder#

"Causes - How does frozen shoulder occur?
Frozen shoulder occurs when there is thickening and swelling of the flexible tissue surrounding your shoulder joint. This tissue is known as a capsule.
Your shoulder is a ball and socket joint, in which the end of your upper arm bone (humerus) sits in the socket of your shoulder blade (scapula). The shoulder capsule is fully stretched when your arm is raised above your head, and hangs down as a small pouch when your arm is lowered.
If you have frozen shoulder, it is thought that bands of scar tissue form in your shoulder capsule, causing it to thicken, swell and tighten. This leaves less space for your upper arm bone in the joint, and makes any movement stiff and painful.

Why does frozen shoulder occur?
It is not fully understood exactly why frozen shoulder occurs, and in some cases, it may not be possible to identify a cause. However, there are several risk factors which make developing frozen shoulder more likely.

Shoulder injury or surgery
It is possible to develop frozen shoulder after a shoulder or arm injury, such as a broken bone (fracture), or after having surgery to your shoulder area.
This may be because keeping your arm and shoulder immobile (still) for long periods of time while you recover may cause your shoulder capsule to tighten up from lack of use. For this reason, it is important not to ignore a painful injury to your shoulder area, and to always see your GP."
