Hello Friends!

Today I am going to brief you something about one of My friend - Mr. Vinod Sharma a Mech. Engineer by profession & I believe in his personality as a technically sound & very easy to mesh up with each & every topic (A Jolly person) but recently he suffered from Slip Disc & Frozen Shoulder Problem.
I reviewed his case and now describing the facts in front of you.
I'll wait for your response for the information provided by me. :)

Hello & What's Up?
I mean what about your Health- Specially for your Back Pain & Frozen Shoulder?
Sir, Its very sad for me to know that you faced so much pain due to back & shoulder.
I pray for you to get recovered as soon as possible.
I know you since the time when I joined in SGL in Kota and from the first few days
I really enjoyed the company with you.
When you accidently happened with back pain (slip disc),
I was not aware of such type of body problems
but today when I saw your body response -
how it is going to disturb your life.. I felt guilty of why not helping you earlier.

I studied out various notes on Frozen Shoulder & consult with some few experts (doctors)
and come to know various facts:

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive capsulitis):

medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis,
is a disorder in which the shoulder capsule,
the connective tissue surrounding the glenohumeral
joint of the shoulder, becomes inflamed (Low Body response towards injury) and stiff (dead),
and grows together with abnormal bands of tissue, called adhesions,
reatly restricting motion and causing chronic pain.

Adhesive capsulitis is a painful and disabling condition
that often causes great frustration for patients
and caregivers due to slow recovery. Movement of the shoulder
is severely restricted. Pain is usually constant, worse at night,
when the weather is colder, and along with the restricted movement
can make even small tasks impossible. Certain movements can cause
sudden onset of tremendous pain and cramping that can last several minutes.

This condition, for which an exact cause is unknown, can last from five months
to three years or more and is thought in some cases to be caused by injury or trauma
to the area. It is believed that it may have an autoimmune component,
with the body attacking healthy tissue in the shoulder.
The condition may also cause chronic inflammation.

Adhesions grow between the joints and tissue, greatly restricting motion and causing
a number of painful complications. There is also a lack of fluid in the joint,
further restricting movement.

In addition to difficulty with everyday tasks, people who suffer from adhesive capsulitis
usually experience problems sleeping for extended periods
due to pain that is worse at night and restricted movement/positions,
resulting in chronic fatigue and other complications.

The condition also can lead to depression, pain, and problems in the neck and back, as well as damage to the surrounding tissue.
There are a number of risk factors for frozen shoulder,
including diabetes, stroke, accidents, lung disease, connective tissue disorders,
and heart disease. The condition very rarely appears in people under 40.

A few Questions about Frozen Shoulder:

Q. What is a frozen shoulder?

A. A frozen shoulder is a shoulder joint with significant
loss of its range of motion in all directions.
The range of motion is limited not only when the patient
attempts motion, but also when the doctor attempts
to move the joint fully while the patient relaxes.
A frozen shoulder is also referred to as adhesive capsulitis.

Q. What causes a frozen shoulder?

A. Frozen shoulder is the result of inflammation, scarring,
thickening, and shrinkage of the capsule that surrounds
the normal shoulder joint. Any injury to the shoulder
can lead to frozen shoulder, including tendinitis,
bursitis, and rotator cuff injury. Frozen shoulders
occur more frequently in patients with diabetes,
chronic inflammatory arthritis of the shoulder,
or after chest or breast surgery. Long-term
immobility of the shoulder joint can put people
at risk to develop a frozen shoulder.

Q. How is a frozen shoulder diagnosed?

A. A frozen shoulder is suggested during examination
when the shoulder range of motion is significantly limited,
with either the patient or the examiner attempting the movement.
Underlying diseases involving the shoulder can be diagnosed
with the history, examination, blood testing,
and x-ray examination of the shoulder.

If necessary, the diagnosis can be confirmed when an x-ray
contrast dye is injected into the shoulder joint to demonstrate
the characteristic shrunken shoulder capsule of a frozen shoulder.
This x-ray test is called arthrography. The tissues of the
shoulder can also be evaluated with an MRI scan.

Q. What conditions can mimic a frozen shoulder?

A. Inflammation of the shoulder joint (arthritis) or the muscles
around the shoulder can cause swelling, pain, or stiffness
of the joint that can mimic the range of motion limitation
of a frozen shoulder.

Injury to individual tendons around the shoulder
(tendons of the rotator cuff) can limit shoulder-joint
range of motion, but usually not in all directions.
Often during the examination of a shoulder with
tendon injury (tendinitis or tendon tear),
the doctor is able to move the joint with the patient
relaxed beyond the range that the patient can on their own.

Q. How is a frozen shoulder treated?

A. The treatment of a frozen shoulder usually requires an aggressive
combination of antiinflammatory medication, cortisone injection(s)
into the shoulder, and physical therapy. Without aggressive treatment,
a frozen shoulder can be permanent.

Diligent physical therapy is often key and can include ultrasound,
electric stimulation, range-of-motion exercise maneuvers,
ice packs, and eventually strengthening exercises.
Physical therapy can take weeks to months for recovery,
depending on the severity of the scarring of the tissues around the shoulder.

It is very important for people with a frozen shoulder
to avoid reinjuring the shoulder tissues during the rehabilitation period.
These individuals should avoid sudden,
jerking motions of or heavy lifting with the affected shoulder.

Sometimes frozen shoulders are resistant to treatment.
Patients with resistant frozen shoulders
can be considered for release of the scar tissue by
arthroscopic surgery or manipulation of the scarred
shoulder under anesthesia.

This manipulation is performed to physically break up the scar tissue of
the joint capsule. It carries the risk of breaking
the arm bone (humerus fracture). It is very important
for patients that undergo manipulation to partake in
an active exercise program for the shoulder after the
procedure. It is only with continued exercise of the
shoulder that mobility and function is optimized.

Treatments:

Treatment may be painful and taxing and consists of physical therapy,
medication, massage therapy, hydrodilatation or surgery.

A doctor may also perform manipulation under anesthesia,
which breaks up the adhesions and scar tissue in the joint to help restore
some range of motion.

Physical therapy is very important at all stages of Adhesive Capsulitis,
despite aggravating some amount of inflammation and pain,
as it will prevent further loss of range and painful contracture.
Pain and inflammation can be controlled with analgesics and NSAID's.

If manual therapy and stretches are not applied, the shoulder capsule
will continuously contract, leaving the shoulder with a severely
restricted range of motion that is much more difficult to reverse.

People who suffer from adhesive capsulitis may have extreme difficulty
working and going about normal life activities for several months or longer.
If a diabetic patient develops the condition, the time to full recovery
is often longer than the usual 12-month period.

So  Mostly THREE treatements are being preffered:

1. Antiinflammatory Medication
2. Cortison Injection (inserted into Shoulders)
3. Physical Therapy
And 4th is very risky so most of the doctors avoid but in some cases it also being done- that is Manipulation Under Anesthesia

(In this Opeartion Doctors breaks the Adhesive Capsulitis
Just Like Hammering the iron ball to remove Corrosion & useless iron)

So, there is a risk of Damage to the Joints as well as connective Tissues.
(A very Risky decision)

Here My recommendations for your Frozen Shoulders:

As you suffered for a long time (approx. 12 months)
from Slip Disk (Back & Neck Pain) & now because of Frozen Shoulder.

Frozen Shoulder caused because of inefficient nutrients availability in your body
(that showed its effect when you accidently met with Slip Disc)
And Used High doses of Medications which tried to reduce pain &
recover the body but fact is that :

Those high doses has damaged your body cells tissues,
nerves and even reduced the quantity of Nutrients for a healthy & lean body.

I would like to help you out in restrengthening the body with Nutrients like

Calcium, Magnisium, d-alpha tocophyrol,
specially required 13 Vitamins &
11 Minerals for a healthy body (on a daily basis)
And amino acids (Proteins) for maintaining & rebuilding cells & tissues &
Vitamin-C ( it combat the effect of cell damaging).

I will feel happy If I would be able to improve your Health a little bit.

Hoping for your Healthy & Happy Life!  :)

Sincerely Yours
