Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint affecting people of all ages. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that restricts movement and daily activities. The shoulder is a complex joint, comprising bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all of which can contribute to pain when injured or inflamed.
Causes of Shoulder Pain
Rotator Cuff Injuries:
Tears or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons due to overuse, trauma, or aging are common causes.
Arthritis:
Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the shoulder joint can cause stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis):
Stiffness and pain gradually reduce the range of motion, often following injury or prolonged immobility.
Bursitis:
Inflammation of the bursa (fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction) can lead to sharp pain, especially with movement.
Dislocations and Fractures:
Trauma or accidents can result in partial or complete dislocation or fracture of the shoulder bones.
Tendonitis and Overuse Injuries:
Repetitive movements, especially in sports or certain occupations, can inflame tendons, causing pain.
Symptoms
Pain during rest or movement.
Stiffness and reduced range of motion.
Swelling or tenderness around the shoulder.
Weakness in the arm or difficulty lifting objects.
Clicking or popping sounds during movement.
