Adhesive capsulitis is the medical term for a stiff “frozen” shoulder. Often times this comes from trauma but this can arise without any reason at all. People with diabetes commonly get this. It tends to occur more commonly in middle-aged women without trauma. It can also occur in the other shoulder.

Patients with “frozen shoulder” have symptoms of pain and often times they cannot do simple everyday life activities such as combing their hair, reaching behind their back, or putting their hand in their back pocket, etc. Pain is usually increased with attempts to lift their hands overhead as this motion is limited. Generally studies show that “frozen shoulders” will “thaw” (tightness lessens), but this can take many months.

There are several treatment options for the stiff shoulder. The most common initial treatment is a well thought out physical therapy program with a strong emphasis on home exercises/stretching. If this does not decrease the pain and increase the motion, occasionally you will have to undergo a manipulation of the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) while you are briefly put under a general anesthesia.

Floor tile adhesives (mastic) can be removed with chemical paint strippers or citric acid solvents (delemonene), which do not emit VOC fumes but are effective only on modern water-based adhesives. Mastic removers are sold in stores. We use our Lightning Strip paint & mastic remover, particularly for the old, thick, black mastic. Test it on a small area first. Avoid filling the pores in concrete with diluted mastic. Afterwards, wash the area to remove any residue.

Dentures are made to fit precisely and usually do not require use of an adhesive for comfort. In an emergency, denture adhesives can be used to keep the dentures stable until you see the dentist, but prolonged use can mask infections and cause bone loss in the jaw. Likewise, a poorly-fitting denture, which causes constant irritation over a long period, may contribute to the development of sores. If your dentures begin to feel loose, or cause pronounced discomfort, see your dentist immediately.

There has been a very low incidence of skin reactions reported with the use of CombiPatch.

We no longer offer this plastic but for you that have purchased it in the past, here is the answer. Whenever using Sta-Put plastic, either plain sheets or with stencils cut on it, the best thing to use for storage is Bakers Parchment [this is not on the instructions that come with the stencils, it is a recent discovery we just made]. This is inexpensive and readily available in your super market next to Saran Wrap and aluminum foil and better than freezer paper.
