Causes of frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder most commonly occurs following an injury, sustained in a road traffic accident or accident at work.
Repetitive strain injury
Frozen shoulder can be a type of repetitive strain injury that develops following repetitive movement over a prolonged period. It sometimes arises in people who regularly carry out manual handling tasks that involve excessive pressure being placed on the shoulder joint (such as lifting) as part of their job.
If your frozen shoulder has developed because of your working conditions or after an incident such as a car accident or accident at work, you may be entitled to claim frozen shoulder compensation.
Symptoms of frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder affects the joints, muscles and tendons around the shoulder. It is characterised by pain and stiffness that gradually spreads across the shoulder and, sometimes, down the top of the arm. Often, frozen shoulder pain makes movement difficult. For some people, it gets worse at night, which can make it hard to sleep.
Claiming frozen shoulder compensation
A frozen shoulder can last for months, or even years, although the pain and stiffness will usually go away eventually. Until this point, your frozen shoulder injury is likely to have a significant impact on your everyday life. You may find it difficult to carry out normal day-to-day activities such as driving, cleaning or getting washed and dressed.
