Check your uric acid level in the blood. Normal values range between 3.5 and 7.2 mg/dL.

Causes of high uric acid:--

* In many instances, people have elevated uric acid levels for hereditary reasons.

* Diet may be a factor. High intake of dietary purine, high fructose corn syrup, and table sugar can cause increased levels of uric acid.

* Serum uric acid can be elevated due to reduced excretion by the kidneys.

* Fasting or rapid weight loss can temporarily elevate uric acid levels.

* Certain drugs, such as thiazide diuretics, can increase uric acid levels in the blood by interfering with renal clearance.

If your uric acid level is higher, avoid food items which contain prurine. Purines are found in high amounts in animal food products, such as liver and sardines. A moderate amount of purine is also contained in beef, pork, poultry, fish and seafood, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, green peas, lentils, dried peas, beans, oatmeal, wheat bran and wheat germ.

Control of blood sugar will relieve the symptoms.

Exercise (brisk walking) daily for about 30 minutes.

To prevent the problem, a common recommendation is to keep the shoulder joint fully moving to prevent a frozen shoulder. Often a shoulder will hurt when it begins to freeze. Because pain discourages movement, further development of adhesions that restrict movement will occur unless the joint continues to move full range in all directions (adduction, abduction, flexion, rotation, and extension). Physical therapy can help with continued movement.

Pain is treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and steroid injections. Steroid injections plus physical therapy can improve your motion.

It can take a few weeks to see progress. It may take as long as 6 - 9 months for complete recovery. Physical therapy is intense and needs to be done every day.

Left untreated, the condition often gets better by itself within 2 years with little loss of motion.

Risk factors for frozen shoulder, such as diabetes or thyroid problems, should also be treated.
