Semnul ignorat de multe femei la perimenopauză: durerea care poate anunța „umărul înghețat”

Shoulder pain during perimenopause may indicate adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, which can severely limit mobility. This condition often goes undiagnosed as its symptoms can mimic other shoulder issues. It progresses through three stages over 1 to 3 years, starting with intense pain, followed by stiffness, and finally a recovery phase. Women aged 40 to 60 are particularly vulnerable due to hormonal changes. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment, which typically involves physical therapy and may include corticosteroid injections. Patience is essential, as recovery can take years, but most patients regain mobility over time.
