What is Shoulder?

The shoulder girdle is composed of the clavicle and the scapula, which articulates with the proximal humerus of the upper limb. Four joints are present in the shoulder: the sternoclavicular (SC), acromioclavicular (AC), and scapulothoracic joints, and glenohumeral joint.

  • Shoulder pain with a fever, swelling, or redness.
  • Significant pain even with moving the shoulder with the arm or by someone else.
  • Pain for more than 2 to 4 weeks, even after home treatment.
  • Swelling of the shoulder.
  • Red or blue color of the skin of the shoulder area.
  • Tearing of the muscles, ligaments and tendons that reinforce the shoulder joint.
  • Nerve or blood vessel damage in or around the shoulder joint.
  • Becoming more prone to repeat dislocations, especially if the injury is severe.
  • Bursitis. Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that are located in joints throughout the body, including the shoulder.
  • Tendinitis.
  • Tendon Tears.
  • Impingement.
  • Instability.
  • Arthritis.
  • Fracture.

Only lift light weights and only below shoulder level. Practice good posture when doing computer work, as- sembly work, or other activities that involve the arms. Limit the amount of time that you restrict arm move- ment with a sling, as you can develop frozen shoulder (stiff shoulder joint).

  • Overuse. People who participate in sports that require frequent and repetitive use of the arms and shoulders, such as baseball, swimming, tennis, and football, are at higher risk of developing shoulder impingement.
  • Curved or hooked acrom.
