Overview
  • Because its the most mobile joint in the body,
    the shoulder joint is also the most susceptible
    to injury. However, not all pain is caused from
    the same thing. Only a medical professional can
    properly diagnose your shoulder issues, but the
    information below can help assist you in getting
    a general idea of what your particular problem
    may be prior to visiting your physician.

Overview
  • The majority of shoulder problems fall into one
    of the four following categories
  • A variety of arthritis
  • A bone fracture
  • Joint Instability
  • Tendon Inflammation or tear
  • Less common shoulder issues can stem from nerve
    issues, tumors as well as infections.

Arthritis
  • Arthritis essentially boils down to inflammation
    in the joints that is painful, stiffening and
    restricts the joints movement. The most common
    type of arthritis found in the shoulders is
    called osteoarthritis, more commonly known as
    wear and tear arthritis. This type of arthritis
    sets in very gradually. Over time, it becomes
    more and more painful as the swelling, pain, and
    stiffness become more severe. Since this is a
    wear and tear condition, it typically doesnt
    begin to settle in until middle age.

Fracture
  • Sometimes, people can fracture a bone and not
    even realize it. These fractures can cause both
    severe swelling and pain. If the fracture is near
    the shoulder joint often times it can be
    interpreted as a shoulder joint problem, when in
    actuality, it is a bone issue. While the cause in
    younger patients is usually a high-impact injury,
    such as a sport or motorcycle injury, with older
    patients, it could be something as simple as a
    slip and fall. If a shoulder problem occurs
    shortly after a fall, a fracture may very well be
    the culprit.

Joint Instability
  • When the arm bone is forced out of the socket of
    the shoulder joint it loosens the connective
    tissues around the shoulder joint. Since these
    dislocations of the socket can be partial, they
    can sometimes occur without the individual being
    aware the joint has actually dislocated. However,
    dislocation can weaken, stretch or even tear the
    connective tissues, making the joint more
    susceptible to future dislocations or injuries.
    Repeated dislocations can also lead to arthritis.
