Hello Dear. Most probably you are having frozen joint syndrome.
Frozen joints (
adhesive capsulitis) is
stiffness, pain, and limited range of movement in your joint area. It may happen after an injury or overuse or from a disease such as
diabetes or a
stroke. The tissues around the joint stiffen, scar tissue forms, and joint movements become difficult and painful. The condition usually comes on slowly, then goes away slowly over the course of a year or more.
You need to consult an orthopedician. Your doctor may suspect frozen joints if a physical exam reveals limited joint movement. An X-ray may be done to see whether symptoms are from another condition such as
arthritis or a broken bone.
Treatment for frozen joints usually starts with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and application of heat to the affected area, followed by gentle stretching. Ice and medicines (including corticosteroid injections) may also be used to reduce pain and swelling. And
physical therapy can help increase your range of motion. A frozen joint can take a year or more to get better.
If treatment is not helping, surgery is sometimes done to loosen some of the tight tissues around the joints. Two surgeries are often done. In one surgery, called manipulation under
anesthesia, you are put to sleep and then your arm or leg is moved into positions that stretch the tight tissue. The other surgery uses an arthroscope to cut through tight tissues and scar tissue. These surgeries can both be done at the same time.
Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
