Frozen shoulder is also known as adhesive capsulitis, and is the result of an inflammation of the shoulder capsule and surrounding connective tissue. A frozen shoulder is the result of adhesions between the joint surfaces that restrict the movement of the shoulder joint. Individuals with heart disease, rheumatoid disorders, diabetes, lung disease, stroke victims, and those who have had a shoulder injury are at a more significant risk for frozen shoulder. Symptoms of frozen shoulder might include stiffness, a dull aching pain, and limited range of motion for the shoulder joint. Treatment options for a frozen shoulder might include physical therapy, heat therapy, low impact stretching exercise, not steroidal anti inflammatory medications, and surgical procedures.
Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of a frozen shoulder?
Answer: The Social Security Administration's disability evaluation system does not focus on a claimant's diagnosis, but, rather, on the functional limitations a claimant has. In other words, the name of the condition is not the chief consideration. How the condition "affects and limits: the indiviual is the primary concern. So, yes, disability benefits can be won on the basis of nearly any condition provided that the condition is sufficiently limiting.
