‼️‼️‼️
often comes from rotator cuff issues (tendinitis, tears), impingement, or bursitis, caused by overuse, poor posture, or injury, but can also stem from neck problems (pinched nerves), arthritis, frozen shoulder, or even referred pain from other areas like the heart. Common culprits include repetitive overhead motion, aging, direct trauma, and bad posture, leading to inflammation, stiffness, or damage to muscles, tendons, and joints.
🟦 Common Causes:
💠 Rotator Cuff Problems: Inflammation (tendinitis) or tears in the cuff tendons from overuse or injury, causing dull aches, weakness, and night pain.
💠 Shoulder Impingement: Tendons get pinched under the shoulder bone, leading to inflammation (often with bursitis).
💠 Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) cushioning the joint.
💠 Poor Posture: Slouching or hunching strains neck and shoulder muscles, often from computer use.
💠 Arthritis: Wear-and-tear (osteoarthritis) or inflammatory types (rheumatoid) causing joint pain and swelling.
💠 Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Shoulder capsule thickens and tightens, causing stiffness and loss of motion.
💠 Pinched Nerve (Cervical Radiculopathy): From a neck issue, causing sharp pain, tingling, or weakness in the shoulder/arm.
💠 Injury: Dislocations, separations, fractures, or direct trauma.
🔲 Other Factors:
1️⃣ Referred Pain: Pain felt in the shoulder but originating in the neck.
2️⃣ Overuse: Repetitive motions (throwing, lifting).
🔷 When to Seek Medical Help:
See a doctor if pain is severe, sudden, doesn't improve with rest, or if you have symptoms like chest tightness or trouble breathing, as it could signal a heart attack.
