I am sadly amazed by how little information we are given related to menopause
I know my body will change in the coming years with the change in hormones. But how? To which extent?
Frozen shoulder can be highly disabling and last months, even years. This condition inflames and immobilizes the shoulder joint. Three quarters of frozen shoulder patients are women in their peri- and post-menopause
Very few studies have been made on this condition. The correlation with estrogen drop is however considered as the main factor. With menopause, women stop producing estrogen and progesterone
Estrogen plays a central role in the control of bone strength, and its loss at menopause causes osteoporosis. It also affects the structure and function of other musculoskeletal tissues such as muscle, tendon, and ligament
Strength training is critical to mitigate the hormonal effects. It may include climbing stairs, lifting weights, resistance band exercises... Find a good doctor which listens to you and your symptoms. For frozen shoulder, it is important to have the diagnostic as soon as possible
Take care
