Are you suffering from shoulder pain? Top questions to ask yourself!
Shoulder injuries are frequently caused by athletic activities that involve excessive, repetitive, overhead motion such as swimming, tennis, pitching and weightlifting. Injuries also can occur during everyday activities such washing walls, hanging curtains and gardening.
While shoulder pain can often result from injury, the most common cause of shoulder and other joint pain is osteoarthritis, which involves the wearing down of cartilage in the joints. As the cartilage wears away, the bones rub directly against each other, resulting in pain and stiffness.
If you are experiencing pain in your shoulder, ask yourself these questions:
- Is your shoulder stiff? Can you rotate your arm in all the normal positions?
- Does it feel like your shoulder could pop out or slide out of the socket?
- Do you lack the strength in your shoulder to carry out your daily activities?
If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, share your comments below. Be sure to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for help in determining the severity of the problem. Early detection is the key to preventing and treating osteoarthritis and shoulder injuries.
