frozen shoulder

Acute pain and reduced mobility in the shoulder joint. It is a common condition that may follow injury, overuse, stroke, or heart attack, or may develop for no apparent reason. It is notoriously intractable but analgesics, exercise or manipulation, and sometimes a corticosteroid injection are among treatments used to ease pain and restore mobility.
