I am diabetic for the past 16 years. I am taking medicines regularly. At present I have severe pain over right shoulder. I am not able to lift my hand and find it painful to even put on my shirt.

This is one of the common problems faced by the diabetes patients. Almost 10 per cent of the diabetes patients suffer from shoulder pain problem. This condition is commonly known as frozen shoulder or periarthritis shoulder, but the new terminology for this condition is adhesive capsulitis of shoulder joint. Uncontrolled diabetes, patients having long duration of diabetes and people in the older age group is frequently affected by this condition. One peculiarity of this condition is that those having adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder have an increased incidence of diabetes eye disease particularly diabetic retinopathy. Though pain killers will help reduce the pain, it will not cure the condition. The acceptable and affordable management for this condition is strict blood sugar control, physiotherapy and regular exercise. With strict blood sugar control and regular physiotherapy, one can get back to pain free normal movements of the shoulder joint within months.
