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.
