Shoulder Pain
What Causes Shoulder Pain
Many conditions can contribute to shoulder pain. Sometimes shoulder pain is the result of injury to another location in your body, usually the neck or biceps. This is known as referred pain. Referred pain generally doesn’t get worse when you move your shoulder. Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- arthritis
- torn cartilage
- torn rotator cuff
- bone spurs
- pinched nerve in the neck or shoulder
- broken shoulder or arm bone
- frozen shoulder
- dislocated shoulder
- injury due to overuse or repetitive use
- spinal cord injury
