Shijū Kata/Gojū Kata

Recently, I have felt a pain in my right shoulder when I lift or move my right arm.

I hope this is not 'shijū kata' (四十肩) or 'gojū kata' (五十肩).

Since 'shijū' (四十) means "forty," 'gojū' (五十) means "fifty," and 'kata' (肩) means "shoulder," the literal meanings of 'shijū kata' and 'gojūkata' are "forty-year-old shoulder" and "fifty-year-old shoulder," respectively.

As people reach their 40s and 50s, they tend to experience symptoms where the shoulder becomes inflamed and loses its smooth movement.

For this reason, the pain in the shoulder joint that occurs with aging has come to be commonly called 'shijū kata' or 'gojū kata'.

Note that these are not official terms representing a specific disease.
四十肩/五十肩

私は最近、右腕を上げようとすると右肩に痛みが走ります。

これが「四十肩」または「五十肩」でないことを望みます。

「四十」は "forty"、「五十」は "fifty"、「肩」は "shoulder" を意味するので、「四十肩」「五十肩」の意味はそれぞれ "forty-year-old shoulder"、 "fifty-year-old shoulder" となります。

40~50歳代になると、肩が炎症を起こしスムーズに動かなくなる症状が増えてきます。

このことから、歳を重ねることで起こる肩関節の痛みを総称して俗に「四十肩」「五十肩」と呼ぶようになったわけです。

これらは正式な病名ではないことに注意してください。
