Symptoms of Shoulder Pain

Symptoms of shoulder pain can vary based on the underlying condition but commonly include:

• Pain: Sharp, aching, or throbbing pain in the shoulder, which may radiate down the arm or up into the neck.
• Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the shoulder through its full range, or pain with certain movements.
• Weakness: Reduced strength in the shoulder or arm, making it difficult to lift or carry objects.
• Swelling and Tenderness: Visible swelling or tenderness around the shoulder joint.
• Clicking or Popping Sensations: Unusual sounds or sensations in the shoulder joint during movement.

Understanding Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can arise from various conditions affecting the shoulder joint, surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes of shoulder pain include:

• Rotator Cuff Injury: Tears or strains in the rotator cuff muscles and tendons, which stabilize the shoulder joint.
• Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a small fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint.
• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: When tendons in the shoulder become compressed and irritated, often due to repetitive overhead activities.
• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A condition characterized by stiffness and pain that restricts shoulder movement.
• Shoulder Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the shoulder joint that can cause pain and limit movement.
• Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage (labrum) that helps stabilize the shoulder joint.
• Shoulder Instability: When the shoulder joint is prone to dislocation or excessive movement due to weakened supporting structures.
