Symptoms of Sholder Pain

Causes of Sholder Pain

Treatment of Shoulder Pain

Acute Shoulder Pain
Deposits of calcium may appear in the tendon which may cause swelling and tension in the tendon. This can cause a sharp pain.
Chronic Pain Tendinitis (the painful arc syndrome)
Repetitive usage and wear and tear may trigger an inflammation in the rotatorcuff (esp. supraspinatus tendon). As the tendon becomes sore and swollen, it can become pinched between the two bones. The sac of fluid that cushions the tendon can also be damaged.
Swelling though slight, may be enough to affect the movement of the shoulder. Sideways lifting of the arm is painful, usually in the mid range, 60 to 120 degrees. Pain is usually worse at night and is severe on attempting movements like putting on a jacket or a blouse.
Frozen shoulder
Frozen Shouldeis a common condition characterized by pain with significant loss of its range of motion in all directions progressively worsening over a period of time.
The pain may be worse at night with difficulty in finding a comfortable position during sleep. It often radiates to the middle of the upper arm.
