Shoulder Osteoarthritis Symptoms
The symptoms of shoulder arthritis tend to
progress gradually sometimes shoulder
osteoarthritis symptoms may seemingly get better,
only to return.

Many people initially attribute shoulder soreness
or stiffness to lack of exercise or getting
older. However, shoulder arthritis can progress
and eventually interrupt ones ability to enjoy
everyday activities. Early recognition of
symptoms and appropriate activity modification
and treatment can sometimes slow or eliminate
progression of shoulder osteoarthritis symptoms.

Joint tenderness and pain. Tenderness and pain
due to glenohumeral osteoarthritis is usually
centered at the back of the shoulder and can be
felt in the middle-range of motion rather than at
the extremes of flexibility. Those with moderate
to severe glenohumeral arthritis may experience
dull aching pain at night making it difficult to
sleep. Pain may intensify with changes in the
weather. Stiffness or loss of motion. Aside from
pain, a major symptom of shoulder arthritis is a
decreased range of motion, even passive motion
made with assistance. Catching. When the
shoulder catches an otherwise fluid movement is
unintentionally interrupted. Catching can be a
sign of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and is often
associated with popping or crunching
sound. Shoulder popping or crunching. Feeling a
crunching or hearing a popping sound when
rotating the shoulder may be a sign that
cartilage has worn away and is not protecting the
bones from friction. The medical term for this
symptom is crepitus. Weakness and muscle
atrophy. Many people with shoulder arthritis
avoid painful movements and lifting objects,
which can in turn lead to muscle atrophy and
weakness.

Inactivity makes it worse. The shoulder can
become stiff after long periods of inactivity
(e.g. sleeping at night) and feel better after
short bouts of moderate activity. Swelling. When
arthritis causes friction between bones the
surrounding soft tissue can become irritated and
swell. Swelling can occur in shoulder arthritis,
though can be less pronounced than it is in other
types of arthritis, such as knee or hand
arthritis. In most but not all cases, the
symptoms of shoulder osteoarthritis come and go,
becoming worse and more frequent over months or
years. Shoulder osteoarthritis pain may flare up
after high intensity activities, such as tennis
or golf.
