Woman's shoulder pain for 4 years mistaken for frozen shoulder, turned out to be a 'lipoma' causing trouble! Aches and numbness completely disappeared after surgery.
A 54-year-old woman surnamed Chen felt pain and numbness in her right shoulder more than four years ago. She instinctively thought it was frozen shoulder and sought treatment at traditional Chinese medicine and rehabilitation clinics, but the pain persisted, to the point where she couldn't lift her arm. A month ago, she suddenly felt a soft 'lump' under her right shoulder. She sought medical attention at the outpatient clinic of Director Chen Hong-ming of Plastic Surgery at Yuan Rung Hospital, Yuan Rung Healthcare System. Director Chen diagnosed it as a lipoma and immediately surgically removed it. Afterward, the woman was surprised to find that the frozen shoulder that had bothered her for over four years was gone. It turned out that lipomas can also indirectly cause 'frozen shoulder'.
