Frozen Shoulder
Diagnosis
Symptoms of a frozen shoulder include:
- painful shoulder
- stiffness in shoulder
- inability to move the arm at shoulder joint, either yourself or
by someone else
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform
a physical exam. The doctor will test the range of motion in your shoulder.
Tests may include:
- x-rays to rule out other possible
causes of the stiffness
- bone scan
This is a series of pictures of bones taken after injection of a small
amount of radioactive material that highlights the bones.
- arthrograms
These are x-ray pictures taken after dye is injected into the shoulder
area.
