We're not going to publish this.

Or I don't know if this is of interest to our readers.

So that paper, for instance, I eventually published in a journal that Miho Tanaka, who's at Harvard, is the lead editor of, which is Journal of Women's Sports Medicine, to give people guidance about how you manage

exogenous estradiol perioperatively in orthopedic surgery, you know, oral estradiol has some increased risk, transdermal, much less, little to none, vaginal, zero, you know, you don't have to hold that around the time of surgery.

But it's just interesting, like sometimes these things that are so significant and affect so many people are just, it's just hard to get it to where I want to, you know, get it.

Oh, regards to frozen shoulder.

This is very interesting.

In some cultures that are highly prone to frozen shoulder.

Such as?

Asian cultures.

Like, there are certain Asian cultures that have their own term for frozen shoulder, which translates to 50-year shoulder.

Like, that is also not a coincidence.

Like, their term is 50-year shoulder, and some women just full-on expect to get 50-year shoulder.

Oh, yeah, my mom got 50-year shoulder.

Again, if you listen to people and it's just this is not random.

So I wanted to share that anecdote because that's actually meaningful to me.

Like if you just listen to terminology within various cultural groups, they're telling us this is something that happens to women when they're 50.

Especially.

Yeah.

So one of the most important keys to treating frozen shoulder is if you think you're developing it, so you didn't have a traumatic event really or something very mild, then you have this new onset severe shoulder pain and you start to notice you're losing range of motion, even just a little bit.
