Shoulder Pain, Common Shoulder Problems & Treatment

What most people call the shoulder is really several joints that combine with tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in the arm — from scratching your back to throwing the perfect pitch. Mobility has its price, however. It may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement of the soft tissue or bony structures in your shoulder, resulting in pain. You may feel pain only when you move your shoulder, or all of the time. The pain may be temporary or it may continue and require medical diagnosis and treatment.

Anatomy

Your shoulder is made up of three bones: your upper arm bone (humerus), your shoulder blade (scapula), and your collarbone (clavicle). The head of your upper arm bone fits into a rounded socket in your shoulder blade. This socket is called the glenoid. A combination of muscles and tendons keeps your arm bone centered in your shoulder socket. These tissues are called the rotator cuff. They cover the head of your upper arm bone and attach it to your shoulder blade.

Cause

Most shoulder problems fall into four major categories:

Tendon inflammation (bursitis or tendinitis) or tendon tear
Instability
Arthritis
Fracture (broken bone)

Other less common shoulder pain causes are tumors, infection and nerve-related issues.

Treatment

Before treatment can begin, an evaluation of your thorough medical history is to be conducted. Your doctor may ask how and when the pain started, whether it has occurred before and how it was treated, and other questions to help determine both your general health and the possible causes of your shoulder problem. Because most shoulder conditions are aggravated by specific activities, and relieved by specific activities, a medical history can be a valuable tool in finding the source of your pain.

A comprehensive examination will be required to find the causes of your shoulder pain. Your doctor will look for physical abnormalities, swelling, deformity or muscle weakness, and check for tender areas. He will observe your shoulder range of motion and strength.

Activity Changes

Treatment generally involves rest, altering your activities and physical therapy to help improve shoulder strength and flexibility. Common sense solutions such as avoiding overexertion or overdoing uncommon activities can help to prevent shoulder pain.

Medications

Your doctor may prescribe medication to reduce inflammation and pain. If medication is prescribed to relieve pain, it should be taken only as directed. Your doctor may also recommend injections of numbing medicines or steroids to relieve pain.

Surgery

Surgery may be required to resolve some shoulder problems. However, the large majority of patients with shoulder pain will respond to simple treatment methods such as altering activities, rest, exercise, and medication.

Certain types of shoulder problems, such as recurring dislocations and some rotator cuff tears, may not benefit from exercise. In these cases, surgery may be recommended fairly early. Surgery can involve arthroscopy to remove scar tissue or repair torn tissues, or traditional open procedures for larger reconstructions or shoulder replacement.

Better than the pieces of rope therapist give you	September 12, 2018
Reviewer: H. Turner from Lansing, Michigan United States

My mom just turned 76 and is recovering from a broken shoulder injury. She's been going to physical therapy now for a month and the physical therapist gave her some exercises to do with a makeshift style pulley. The makeshift pulley can get the job done, but not without some discomfort. Nothing beats a pair of handles and a real pulley system. This is worth every penny! It is the closest thing to what physical therapist use in their facilities without breaking the bank.
