Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain may be caused by several different conditions. A strong blow to the shoulder, fall, car accident or constant repetitive use can cause pain, numbness, instability, and decreased motion in the joint. There are muscles, ligaments, bursae sacs that all can be affected by a trauma to the body These provide cushioning from the friction caused by the rubbing of bones, muscle, and tissue. If these sacs become inflamed, you will feel stiffness and pain in the shoulder.

One of the most common injuries to the shoulder is a tear in the rotator cuff. When you overuse your shoulders, you can push the muscles and tendons to their limits, which can result in a tear. When this injury first occurs, you may not even know because the pain starts minor but worsens over time. If the tendons around your shoulder and bicep become inflamed, it can result in tendonitis. This can lead to shoulder pain and stiffness.
