What causes shoulder pain?
As a ball-and-socket joint, your shoulder is designed to move in nearly any direction. But among bones that glide oh-so-close together, the thin connective cartilage, and all of the surrounding connective tissues, a lot can go wrong. Some of the most notorious causes of shoulder pain include:
- Arthritic degenerative changes
- Dislocation or fracture
- Sprains and strains
- Rotator cuff injury
- Bursitis or tendinitis
- Impingement
Though acute trauma and injuries can certainly lead to shoulder pain, osteoarthritis and similar types of degenerative conditions can lead to shoulder pain that gradually worsens over time. You’re also more likely to have certain types of shoulder issues, like rotator cuff injuries, if you regularly repeat overhead or throwing motions.
Are there other symptoms with shoulder pain?
Your shoulder pain may vary from mild to severe. Depending on your specific diagnosis, you may experience:
- Sleep disturbances
- Arm weakness
- Difficulty reaching for objects
- Dull, sharp, or stabbing pains with or without motion
Without proper therapy, shoulder pain can become so severe that it starts lowering your quality of life. You may find it difficult to perform everyday tasks, like brushing your teeth or combing your hair. Before your condition worsens, schedule an evaluation at New Hampshire Regenerative Center LLC to get relief from shoulder pain.
