Understanding the Shoulder
The shoulder joint is connected to the shoulder bones, upper arm bones, and collarbone. Not only that, but it also consists of nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft connective tissues. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that hold all of these components together. Since the shoulder is comprised of all of these components, it is the most complex structure of the body and highly susceptible to injury and pain.
Symptoms of Shoulder Pain
Due to its complexity and location in the human body, the shoulder can be easily injured from sports, falls, bumps, and strains. As a result, you may experience various symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
- Clicking, popping, or grinding
- Muscle weakness or stiffness
- Radiating pain
- Arm pain, back pain, or neck pain
- Warmth or redness
- Inability to move your arm
- Weakness or numbness in your hand
- Tenderness and swelling
