Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor is touted as one of the most evergreen actors in the film industry and rightfully so. At the age of 62, he still looks way younger and has maintained a good physique. But given the fact that he also happens to be extremely disciplined when it comes to his diet and workout routines, this doesn't really come as a surprise. While everything seemed to be going fine, a few days ago the actor took to his social media account to share that he was suffering from calcification in his right shoulder. He also added that he would be travelling to Germany in April to get treated.
What is this condition, you ask? Here's all you need to know about it. Calcification in the shoulder refers to the formation of calcium deposits in the shoulder. This leads to inflammation around the deposits which can cause a lot of pain to the person suffering from it. As such there are no reasons for why this occurs and it is certainly not related to a person's lifestyle or diet in any way. Also, the condition usually occurs in people above the age of 40.
Symptoms of the condition include feeling unbearable pain in the shoulder which occurs when the deposits are being reabsorbed. And often when you try to lift your arm it will hurt too much. The pain can also end up affecting your sleep. To confirm the condition one needs to go for an X-Ray. To treat the condition, you could opt for anti-inflammatory medicines, cortisone injections, physiotherapy, shock wave therapy and surgery for extreme circumstances.
