Understanding and Managing Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a common complaint that can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life. Whether it’s a result of an injury, poor posture, or an underlying medical condition, addressing shoulder pain promptly is crucial for long-term well-being.
Causes of Shoulder Pain:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. Injuries to this area, often caused by repetitive motions or sudden trauma, can lead to pain and limited mobility.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition involves the thickening and tightening of the shoulder capsule, restricting movement and causing pain.
Tendonitis and Bursitis: Inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis) or bursa (bursitis) in the shoulder can result from overuse or repetitive motions.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: This occurs when the rotator cuff tendons rub against the acromion bone, causing pain and inflammation.
Symptoms:
- Dull or sharp pain in the shoulder.
- Limited range of motion.
- Swelling and tenderness.
- Difficulty sleeping on the affected side.
- Weakness in the arm.
