What are the causes of scapulohumeral periarthritis
summary
A few days ago, I found that I had some pain in my neck, but I didn't care about it. I thought that I might be too tired recently, causing neck pain. Slowly, the pain spread to my shoulder. Sometimes I even dare not move. I feel pain when I touch it. Finally, I can't stand it. When I went to the hospital for examination, the doctor told me it was scapulohumeral periarthritis, but there are many causes of scapulohumeral periarthritis. Let's understand the causes of scapulohumeral periarthritis.
What are the causes of scapulohumeral periarthritis
Reason 1: a considerable number of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis occur in manual work, sitting at the desk for a long time and other occupations with good posture, and patients with excessive thoracic kyphosis (hunchback) are obviously prone to suffer from scapulohumeral periarthritis. This may be due to long-term bad posture or posture disorders caused by the tilt of the scapula, acromion and humerus position changes due to abnormal stress, gradually forming rotator cuff injury, potentially leading to scapulohumeral periarthritis. There are many patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis due to long-term low head in the work, so the bone and joint is not very flexible
The second reason: diabetes, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism and other endocrine system diseases are also closely related to scapulohumeral periarthritis, especially in diabetic patients, the incidence of scapulohumeral periarthritis can reach 10% - 20%. Therefore, endocrine dysfunction may also be one of the causes of scapulohumeral periarthritis. Most of the patients with diabetes are due to poor bone and joint, resulting in scapulohumeral periarthritis.
The third reason: Although the immune mechanism of scapulohumeral periarthritis is not clear, it seems that it may be related to the autoimmune response induced by the degeneration of supraspinatus tendon and other tendon tissues. The phenomenon that the elderly are prone to scapulohumeral periarthritis and the method of injecting adrenal glucocorticoid during the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis support the argument that immunity is related. If the elderly suffer from scapulohumeral periarthritis, they may take too much hormone in normal time.
matters needing attention
It is not suitable to do active activities of shoulder joint in acute stage. Comprehensive treatment such as hot compress, cupping, light manipulation, massage, etc. should be adopted. Attention should be paid to avoid scalding during hot compress. The elderly should strengthen nutrition, supplement calcium, such as milk, eggs, bean products, bone soup, black fungus, or oral calcium. Patients must strengthen outdoor exercise, pay attention to safety at the same time to prevent falls, do not stay up late, do not be too tired, do not take heavy things, joints need to pay attention to keep warm.
