Common Shoulder Complaints
Patients with shoulder issues often report a range of symptoms, each pointing to different underlying causes.
Here are some of the most common complaints:
Shoulder Pain and Stiffness
Many people experience general pain and stiffness in the shoulder area, which can be due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rotator cuff injuries, or the result of poor posture and overuse.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
This condition involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, significantly limiting the range of motion. It commonly occurs after prolonged immobility or a previous injury.
Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder impingement involves the pinching of tendons or bursa in the shoulder from bone spurs or swelling. Patients report pain and difficulty during overhead activities.
Instability
Some patients experience a feeling that their shoulder may slide out of place or dislocate, particularly when performing specific movements.
