About
Shoulder pain encompasses a range of conditions affecting the shoulder joint and surrounding structures, including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), shoulder impingement, and osteoarthritis. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which makes it vulnerable to both acute injury and chronic overuse. Most shoulder pain responds well to physiotherapy and targeted exercises.
What it feels like
Pain with overhead activities or reaching behind the back
Weakness in the shoulder or arm
Restricted range of motion — difficulty raising the arm
Pain at night, especially lying on the affected side
Clicking or catching sensation with movement
When to get help
Seek urgent care for sudden severe shoulder pain after a fall or trauma, especially if the shoulder appears deformed or the arm cannot be moved — these suggest dislocation or fracture. See a doctor for shoulder pain that is worsening progressively or accompanied by unexplained weight loss.
