What is shoulder pain?

• Shoulder problems are one of the most common
  reasons for doctor visits for musculoskeletal
  symptoms in the world. The shoulder is one of the
  most movable and used joints in the body, similar
  to the hip. It is also a very unstable joint due
  to the range of motion allowed. This is unlike
  the hip, which has a limited range of motion.
  This range of motion increases the likelihood of
  joint injury, often leading to a tissue breakdown
  and function impairment, which can be a
  significant cause of shoulder pain.

• Shoulder pain may be localized, or may be felt in
  areas around the shoulder, or down the arm, back
  and chest. Although less common, disease within
  the body also may generate pain that can be
  interpreted as arising from the shoulder.

What are possible causes of shoulder pain?

• The shoulder is the meeting of three bones, which
  are the clavicle, collarbone, and upper arm.
  These bones meet to form two joints that are
  controlled by a complex arrangement of muscles,
  tendons, and ligaments. Many different problems
  can cause shoulder pain, including dislocation,
  separation, tendinitis, rotator cuff tears,
  arthritis, labrum tears or fracture. Each of
  these problems will have distinct symptoms in
  regards to the level of pain and how the pain
  affects you.

How to treat shoulder pain?

• Depending on the cause of the shoulder pain,
  different treatments will be necessary. Due to
  the frequency in which the shoulder is used,
  leaving the problem unaddressed is not a good
  decision. The first course of treatment would be
  a diagnosis to determine the exact problem with
  your shoulder. The diagnosis tests could include
  an X-ray, and Arthrogram, and MRI, or a medical
  history examination, which would likely be
  performed by a specialist. After reaching a
  diagnosis, the professional will decide what
  specific course of action to take.
