Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Injuries

Shoulder injuries are common in sports, accidents, and falls. Common injuries include:

  • Rotator Cuff Tears: Tears in the muscles or tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
  • Dislocations: When the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket.
  • Fractures: Breaks in the bones of the shoulder, often due to trauma.
Overuse

Repetitive movements can lead to conditions like:

  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the shoulder, often due to overuse.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the shoulder joint.
  • Impingement Syndrome: Occurs when the shoulder muscles rub against the top part of the shoulder blade.
Chronic Conditions

Long-term health issues affecting the shoulder include:

  • Osteoarthritis: Degenerative joint disease causing cartilage breakdown and joint pain.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder leading to joint inflammation and pain.
  • Frozen Shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint.
