Shoulder-hand syndrome

Japanese: 肩手症候群 - けんしゅしょうこうぐん(英語表記)shoulder-hand syndrome
Shoulder-hand syndrome
In addition to dull shoulder pain, movement is restricted, and as the condition progresses, external rotation is impaired. The pain extends from the neck to the arm, the hand becomes red and swollen, and the fingers cannot be fully extended or flexed. The condition is characterized by pain and a burning sensation in the peripheral limbs, tenderness, swelling, and edema around the joints, and the tips of the fingers may feel cold and cyanotic. The condition is triggered by diseases that are relatively common in the elderly, such as coronary insufficiency, angina pectoris, cerebrovascular disease, and calcific tendonitis. In mild cases, the condition tends to heal naturally, so rehabilitation, heat therapy, and steroid joint injections are performed.
