Frozen shoulders sometimes develop following a traumatic injury sustained in an accident. However, most often, frozen shoulders occur for no apparent reason between the ages of 40 and 60.
In this blog, I will focus on frozen shoulders resulting from injures sustained in accidents. If your symptoms started after you suffered broken collar borne injuries in an accident, your frozen shoulder, might be related to the shoulder injuries. You should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis.
Frozen shoulders make the shoulder stiff, scarred and shoulder movement is restricted. Most people who have frozen shoulders will have limitations in their shoulders even years after recovery from the illness.
With frozen shoulders, you experience a lot of pain. The pain is usually a dull aching pain and you will have difficulty with activities such as brushing your hair or putting on shirts/bras.
The symptoms of frozen shoulders also interfere with everyday tasks such as driving, dressing, or sleeping. In addition, you will experience problems scratching your back, or putting your hand in your rear pocket. A frozen shoulder will affect your work as well.
Frozen shoulders sometimes result from shoulder injuries caused by car accidents or in work accidents. If untreated, the symptoms may last 2-3 years before recovery. In some cases, pain may last for several years.
If you have suffered a frozen shoulder as a result of an accident at work or car accident, you may be entitled to claim personal injury compensation. You need the help of a specialist personal injury solicitor to assist you in getting fair compensation for your
frozen shoulder.
