Shoulder Pain

Shoulder could be a complex ball and socket joint that’s created of the arm bone (arm bone), the scapula (shoulder blade) and also the clavicle (collarbone). There are several ligaments that facilitate support the shoulder, and plenty of muscular attachments facilitate move the shoulder. The shoulder is a very mobile joint, allowing people to reach and move in many directions. You can injure your shoulder by performing manual labor, playing sports, or even by repetitive movement. Certain diseases can bring about pain that travels to the shoulder. These include diseases of the cervical spine (neck), as well as liver, heart, or gallbladder disease.

Causes

There are many different causes of shoulder pain. Overhead activities, such as swimming or throwing a baseball, may cause pinching of the rotator cuff or biceps tendons. Occasionally, poor sitting posture may place increased stress on the shoulder and cause pain. Trauma like falls or motor vehicle accidents may injure the shoulder. Often, shoulder pain happens with no apparent reason or specific injury. Common shoulder problems include:

Rotator Cuff Tendonitis: The complex body part could be a cluster of 4 muscles that facilitate support and move the shoulder. Their primary role is to assist hold the ball of the arm bone within the socket whereas the arm is touched. The rotator cuff tendons attach to the arm bone in a region that lies directly underneath a bony prominence of the bone. The tendons can get pinched underneath this bone and become inflamed and sore. Biceps Tendonitis: The biceps tendon attaches your biceps muscle in your upper arm to the front of the shoulder. Many people consider the long head of the biceps tendon to act as a fifth rotator cuff tendon, offering stability to the front of the shoulder. This tendon can get pinched by the bony anatomy of the shoulder blade or by ligaments that attach to the collarbone and shoulder blade, causing tendonitis. Biceps Tendonitis: The biceps tendon attaches your biceps muscle in your upper arm to the front of the shoulder. Many people consider the long head of the biceps tendon to act as a fifth rotator cuff tendon, offering stability to the front of the shoulder. This tendon can get pinched by the bony anatomy of the shoulder blade or by ligaments that attach to the collarbone and shoulder blade, causing tendonitis. Frozen Shoulder: Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder becomes painful and gradually loses motion. This loss of motion will last for up to 18 months; it is painful and cause a major purposeful loss. Shoulder Fracture: A shoulder fracture happens once significant trauma. Falling on an extended arm could be a common explanation for a shoulder fracture. The collarbone, scapula, humerus, or a combination of all three may be injured as a result.
