Adhesive capsulitis
Definition:
A condition that causes decreased movement in a joint. Inflammation in a joint causes thrombin and fibrinogen to form a protein called fibrin. This protein causes clotting when in the blood, and forms a sticky substance when found in the joint. This causes the folds in the tissue to stick to each other and prevents full motion of the joint. Shoulder pain is a common symptom of this disorder.
