 Hi, I am Dr. Sushal Shantakumar. I am a consultant shoulder surgeon practicing in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Frozen shoulder is predominantly a disease of older age group, above the age group of maybe 40 to 50 years. Women are little more commonly affected than men. There is a slight association with diabetes and other metabolic conditions like thyroid and high cholesterol diseases. Although not all diabetic patients have frozen shoulder and not all frozen shoulder patients are diabetic.
