Suffering from scapulohumeral periarthritis, patients feel shoulder pain, their arms can't be lifted, and it is difficult to carry things. The pain will get worse when you sleep at night, which has a great influence on people's lives.
1. Shoulders are afraid of cold: Many patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis will wrap their shoulders tightly because they are afraid of cold. Even in hot summer, they dare not blow or see cold water.
2. Pressing pain: Most patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis will obviously feel the pain around the shoulder, and pressing the tender point with fingers is more obvious, mostly at the tendon groove of the long head of the biceps brachii, the descending capsule of the acromion, the coracoid process and the attachment point of the supraspinatus muscle.
3. Limited shoulder movement: Patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis will feel obvious pain when they try to extend their shoulders anywhere, especially in the morning, abduction and internal and external rotation. With the development of the disease, it will cause the adhesion between the joint capsule and the soft tissue around the shoulder, and the muscle strength will gradually decrease, thus limiting the movement of the shoulder joint in all directions. Especially when getting up early to dress, comb your hair and wash your face. In severe cases, the function of elbow joint will also be affected. When you bend your elbow, you should not touch your shoulder on the same side, especially when your arm is extended backwards.
4. Shoulder pain: scapulohumeral periarthritis is a chronic attack in the early stage, and the pain will increase day by day, showing sudden pain or knife-cutting pain, which is persistent. Most patients will get worse pain in the middle of the night and can't sleep at night, especially lying on the affected side, which is more obvious because of blood deficiency; Those who have colds are particularly sensitive to climate change.
5. Muscle spasm and atrophy: In the early stage of scapulohumeral periarthritis, the deltoid muscle and supraspinatus muscle spasm around the shoulder can occur, and in the late stage, disuse muscle atrophy can occur, resulting in acromion protrusion, inconvenient lifting and unfavorable back bending. At this time, the pain symptoms are relieved.
