Most Common Causes Of Shoulder Pain

Dr. Burns: Shoulder pain can be caused from a variety of factors because from problems inside your shoulder and can be caused just from inflammation. And it can be caused from things outside your shoulder like neck pain or nerve nerve impingement from your neck. Usually we break up shoulder pain kind of based on age, if you're a young person, we'll define that for now something under 30 or 35. That typically is labeled pathology, maybe some biceps pathology, the biceps is the tendon, the front of the shoulder. And you also can have things like shoulder dislocations and AC joint problems that can cause pain in your younger years. As we get older that really transitions to primarily rotator cuff problems and osteoarthritis the rotator cuff or for tendons that surround the shoulder. And as we get older, it's really really common to have tears in those tendons, and that can lead to pain with shoulder motion, and difficulty lifting your arm and shoulder weakness.
