Arthritis:
Shoulder pain can also
result from arthritis. There are many types of arthritis. The most common type
of arthritis in the shoulder is osteoarthritis, also known as "wear
and tear" arthritis. Symptoms, such as swelling, pain, and stiffness,
typically begin during middle age.
Osteoarthritis develops slowly and
the pain it causes worsens over time.
Osteoarthritis, may be related to sports or work injuries and chronic wear and
tear. Other types of arthritis can be related to rotator cuff tears, infection,
or an inflammation of the joint lining.
Often
people will avoid shoulder movements in an attempt to lessen arthritis pain.
This sometimes leads to a tightening or stiffening of the soft tissue
parts of the joint, resulting in a painful restriction of motion.
