frozen shoulder

by drydee, Apr 23, 2008 04:40PM
I am a 45 year old female (teacher and parent)and am having arthroscopic surgery for adhesive capsulitis in couple of weeks. I've had it in my left shoulder for about one year (no trauma, no diabetes.and I am in great shape otherwise).  It has started in my other (right) shoulder.  Could this be an early sign of parkinson's.  I don't have other symptoms except anxiety over this situation.  I'm just so confused as to why my shoulders are freezing up.
Thanks in advance for feedback.

Hi, relax, there is no relation with frozen shoulder and parkinsonism. In Parkinson's disease which is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills and speech.

"Parkinson's disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. It is characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement (bradykinesia) and, in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement (akinesia). The primary symptoms are the results of decreased stimulation of the motor cortex by the basal ganglia, normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the brain. Secondary symptoms may include high level cognitive dysfunction and subtle language problems. PD is both chronic and progressive". Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_disease
