Pleuralopyritous periarthritis is a disease that, in principle, can not be cured easily. However, resort to its treatment is necessary at the first symptoms, otherwise it can grow into an acute form. This happens quite often. More than half of the patients for one reason or another start the treatment or start it too late, when the disease flows into a very painful stage.
Causes of humeroparous periarthritis
The shoulder is a very sensitive part of the body, which sometimes has to withstand heavy loads. Shoulder-fluked periarthritis is responsible for about 80% of all rheumatic diseases of the shoulder.
The causes of periarthritis can be very diverse, and have consequences of varying severity. The disease itself is due to inflammation of the periarticular soft tissues. This can occur as a result of the following:
- injury to the hand or shoulder (fractures, dislocations, etc.);
- excessive physical exertion on the shoulder;
- diseases of some internal organs (for example, liver or heart);
- impaired metabolism (eg, as a result of diabetes mellitus );
- surgical removal of mammary glands in women;
- disease of the cervical spine;
- Vascular disease.
Symptoms of humeroparous periarthritis
The main task of the patient, determine the initial symptoms of the disease and immediately see a doctor for diagnosis of the humeroparietary periarthritis. Periarthritis arises in different forms, each of which accordingly has specific symptoms. However, common for all forms of alarming moments, in the occurrence of which the patient should seek help:
- the occurrence of pain of any strength and character in the shoulder;
- difficulty or inability to move with the shoulder or hand (for example, rotating or raising the hand up).
Now it is worthwhile to consider in more detail the symptoms for each form of the shoulder blade periarthritis separately.
Simple (light) shape
Symptoms:
- a weak pain in the shoulder joint, which appears only when moving by hand;
- it is very difficult, because of pain, to extend the arm forward, upwards or to lead it far behind;
- When the straight arm rotates around its axis, there are strong painful sensations.
Acute form of the disease
Symptoms:
- pain in the shoulder occurs suddenly, can grow and move to the neck;
- the movement of the arm forward can not cause pain, in contrast to the rotation of it around its axis - this causes severe pain;
- at night, pain can be felt more strongly, which causes insomnia and worsening of the general condition of the patient;
- A pose that helps to reduce or even get rid of the pain - bend the arm in the elbow and press it against the torso;
- possibly a rise in body temperature;
- slight swelling of the shoulder joint.
Chronic form
Symptoms:
- pains in the shoulder can occur often, but do not bring much discomfort to the patient;
- acute pain can occur with sudden movements of the hand, its rotation;
- in the morning the pain becomes more sensitive, because of what the patient suffers from insomnia.
Treatment of the disease in any form should be given sufficient attention, since the forms have the property to flow from one to the other. And, the further, the more difficult it is to recover.
The disease is more common in the fairer sex, and in most cases is right-sided. This is not surprising, since most people use their right arm much more often left, because of what it is more susceptible to microtrauma. Less often humeroscapular periarthritis is bilateral, then the symptoms can accordingly be manifested from either side or from both sides simultaneously.
