Brief Summary   The Diabetes mellitus (DM) has 5 time more incidence of CRPS/Frozen shoulder leading to pain, restricted shoulder movement and hampering self-care.  There are limited studies on the role of corticosteroids in frozen shoulder associated with DM  patients. In our earlier studies post stroke CRPS oral prednisolone reduces pain and improved range of movements substantially compared to Piroxicam . We have also found prednisolone 40 mg and 20 mg equally effective in CRPS-I. In that study prednisolone  20 mg resulted in increased blood glucose in 24% which could be easily controlled with augmentation of drug, without withdrawal from the study. In this study we will include well controlled DM with HbA1C<8 %, without any ocular, cardiac and renal complication. The result of the proposed study likely to give an evidence whether prednisolone 20 mg is safe and effective in DM associated CRPS I.
