My shoulder suddenly felt unbearable pain in the middle of the night

People cannot predict what kind of disease symptoms they will develop in their lives, especially for some sudden medical problems. They must seek medical treatment in time. However, sometimes the disease does not have any signs, so people must be able to adapt to the situation when a sudden illness occurs. It is best to master some simple treatment methods. What should I do if my shoulder suddenly becomes unbearable in the middle of the night?

Frozen shoulder is a common adhesive inflammation of the joint capsule, which causes joint stiffness and limited movement. Generally, if the original posture is maintained, there will be no severe pain.

Periarthritis of the shoulder is usually formed unintentionally. Sometimes you may feel discomfort in your shoulder, so you rarely move, hoping to give your shoulder a good rest. For example, you played a badminton game on the weekend and felt your shoulder was very tired. There is nothing wrong with doing this, but if your shoulder is injured or has some chronic pain and you still don't move, your shoulder joint will become stiff, and movement will become difficult and painful, creating a vicious cycle in which your shoulder moves less and less, your shoulder joint becomes stiffer and stiffer, and finally, the joint becomes completely stiff. Once it reaches this point, it becomes difficult to move even if you want to, and the slightest movement becomes painful.

Usually, frozen shoulder is often caused by trauma or tenosynovitis, bursitis, or stroke. Often, it is difficult to pinpoint the cause, but anything that causes limited range of motion in the arm or shoulder may be a symptom of frozen shoulder.

Diabetes can also cause frozen shoulder. Although the specific mechanism needs further research, it tends to be based on the collagen theory. Collagen is the main component of ligaments and tendon sheaths, and ligaments connect different bones in the joint cavity. When there is a problem with collagen, it will affect joint function. Glucose molecules will combine with collagen and denature the collagen function. For diabetic patients, due to increased blood sugar, the combination of glucose and collagen is abnormally deposited in the shoulder cartilage and tendon sheath, causing shoulder joint stiffness and limited movement.
