Does Frozen Shoulder Come Back (Reoccur)?

… Continued …

It seems that the underlying condition behind your frozen shoulder can be a significant contributing factor to make the problem come back or recur for the second time.

If you are diabetic, it’s crucial to control your blood sugar as well. Poorly-controlled diabetes can lead to other numerous risks, too (such as the risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and so on). But as long as your blood sugar is well under-control, there should be nothing to worry.

Again, one of the most common triggers is when you have shoulder immobility for long period of time.

If you have any problem that makes it difficult to move the joint of your shoulder, see a doctor and ask about appropriate physical therapy or exercise you need to follow to maintain your shoulder’s range of motion so thus you can prevent your adhesive capsulitis from coming back!

The following lifestyle measures may help, too:

1. Keep using the involved joint as much as you could, this may help limit the pain and range-of-motion to recur.
2. Don’t take too much bed rest! Once you are ready for your day, it’s much better to keep active as soon as possible. Instead, too many hours and days you spend for bed rest, this can be counterproductive!
3. Having good sleep is always essential! In fact, your recovery and metabolism run optimally when you sleep at night. If you find that the pain has disturbed your sleep, talk to your doctor. See also the role of bad sleep that can worsen the pain symptoms of frozen shoulder in here!
4. Try heat and cold therapy! This home remedy can be an effective first aid to help soothe the inflammation, preventing the affected area from getting worse.
5. Watch out on foods that may worsen the problem. For instance fatty foods or refined sugar can trigger more excess inflammation. See more about diet for frozen shoulder in this post!
