What causes Frozen Shoulder?

Road traffic accidents, work accidents, or other injury/trauma tend to be responsible for many cases of frozen shoulder.

Repetitive Strain Injury

Workers who carry out duties that involve manual handling on a daily basis can be exposed to repetitive strain injury. This repetitive movement can put an excessive strain on the shoulder joint and lead to Frozen Shoulder.

You may be entitled to claim for compensation if your injury has developed following an accident that wasn’t your fault. For instance, you may have been involved in an accident at work, a car accident, or developed the condition as a result of your working environment.

Frozen Shoulder Symptoms

The muscles, joints, and tendons surrounding the shoulder are affected by pain and stiffness which progressively spreads over the shoulder and sometimes down the top of the arm. Movement is often difficult due to the pain, and some patients report that the condition gets worse at night which makes it harder to rest.

Claiming Compensation For Frozen Shoulder

The pain and stiffness will eventually dissipate, but frozen shoulder can often last for months and sometimes even years. It is likely to have an adverse effect on the quality of your life until the condition has healed. Normal daily activities, such as getting dressed, driving, or shopping may be difficult due to your injury.

In some cases, it may be difficult or impossible to return to work. Sometimes it may require a person to reduce their hours or duties at work so that their recovery is not hindered.
