Shoulder

The shoulder has a vast and varied range of movement. However, when anything goes wrong with the shoulder, it hinders your ability to move freely and causes discomfort. 

Listed below are some problems that cause pain in the shoulder:

 

Biceps Tendinitis 

Biceps Tendinitis swelling or irritation of the upper biceps tendon. Also termed as long-term head biceps, this cord-like tissue joins the bicep muscles to the bone in the shoulder socket.

Discomfort in the front of the shoulder and weakness are common causes of biceps tendinitis. Medication and rest usually heal your pain. However, in some severe cases, surgery is recommended to restore the tendon.

 

Broken Collarbone 

A broken collarbone or clavicle fracture is the breaking of bone that connects the breastbone and shoulder. This usually happens when an injury or an outstretched arm puts enough pressure on the bone to break. This condition might be excruciating and make it hard to move your arm. 

A lot of clavicle fractures could be treated by wearing a sling to stabilize the shoulder and arm while the bone heals. But in some cases, pieces of bone deviate from their place due to injury and in such cases, surgery is required to repair the collarbone.

 

Dislocation

A condition where the upper arm pulls out of the cup-shaped socket that’s part of the shoulder blade is called shoulder dislocation.

Usually, people regain movement in the shoulder within a few weeks. Despite recovering the action, once the shoulder dislocates,  the joint may be prone to dislocate persistently. 

 

Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis, includes pain and inflexibility in the shoulder joint. Symptoms of a frozen shoulder develop slowly, however with the passage of time the pain gets worsens. The cause of a frozen shoulder includes keeping the shoulder for a more extended period otherwise due to surgery or damage to the arm.

Treatment for frozen shoulder includes different types of motion exercises. Hardly an arthroscopic surgery is required to relax the joint capsule for easing joint movement.

 

Rotator Cuff Repair

A surgical procedure that repairs a torn tendon of the shoulder is called rotator cuff repair. This surgery usually involves refixing the tendon to the head of the upper arm bone. 

 

Supraspinatus Tendon Tear

Damage in the tendon of the supraspinatus muscle is called supraspinatus tendon tear. Supraspinatus is a muscle located behind the shoulder. 

Causes involved in sports like tennis or cricket, persistent use of arms for lifting heavy weights, and also with people over the age of 40.  

Treatment options for supraspinatus tendon involve medication, physical exercise, and sometimes surgery might be used to repair the damage.
