Common Causes Of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can range from modest aches and pains caused by a strained muscle to severe bone-on-bone friction caused by arthritis. It can also occur as a result of an accident, leaving you with the sensation that your shoulder is frozen.
Shoulder pain can show up in a variety of ways, such as reaching for the top shelf to put away dishes or having trouble sleeping in a comfortable position.
Some of the most common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Arthritis
- Tendinitis
- Impingement
- Frozen Shoulder
Common Questions You May Have About Your Shoulder Pain
What Are Rotator Cuff Injuries?
Deep shoulder discomfort, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind the back, and difficulty sleeping are all symptoms of rotator cuff injuries, popularly known as “torn shoulders.”
Depending on the severity and circumstances, surgery may be required, however physical therapy can often help reduce pain and restore rotator cuff strength without the need for surgery. If surgery is required, physical therapy will be an important part of the rehabilitation process.
Could I have Arthritis In My Shoulder?
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types of arthritis that affect the shoulder. Both of these conditions cause shoulder muscular weakness and make it difficult to complete typical everyday chores.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the immune system attacks the membranes that surround the shoulder joint, causing discomfort and inflammation. Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage in the shoulder joint wears down significantly, usually as a result of age or usage.
What Is Shoulder Tendinitis?
Tendinitis occurs when a person’s shoulder joint is overworked, frequently as a result of their work, overhead activity, or sport’s physical demands. Tendinitis can be caused by poor posture, which disrupts the equilibrium of your shoulders and causes tension and weakness, placing you at risk for tendon injury. The tendons become inflamed over time, resulting in swelling and severe impingement when you raise your arm.
I Can’t Lift My Arm. Could I Have An Impingement?
Impingement typically occurs because of abnormal movement and tracking of the humeral head as you lift your arm overhead. Pain typically occurs when lifting your arm at or above 90 degrees.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Frozen shoulder is defined by a painful loss of shoulder motion and a tightness of the shoulder joint that severely restricts motion. Another name for it is adhesive capsulitis. This syndrome can occur if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a long time, or if you have been bedridden for a long time. Some ethnic groups are more prone, and women between the ages of 40 and 60 are more likely than men to have this illness.
