What’s wrong with my shoulder?
It’s not just a simple joint — it’s a complex structure of muscles and tendons (which hold your muscles to your bones). It lets you scratch your back, drive your car, or get something off a shelf. But all those moving parts mean things can go wrong, which is why so many people have shoulder problems at some point.
Bursitis
Small fluid-filled sacs called bursae cushion the connections between your bones. If you make the same motion with your shoulder too often — like throwing a baseball or lifting something over your head — these sacs can get inflamed. When you have bursitis, even simple things, like getting dressed or combing your hair, can really hurt.
Tendinitis
Like the soles of your favorite shoes, tendons can wear away slowly over time. Conditions that inflame your joints, like arthritis, can cause it, too. In your shoulder, the tendons of your rotator cuff and biceps are most likely to have problems.
Acute Tendinitis
“Overhead” activities like tennis, baseball, and swimming can cause a form of this, especially if you do them too often, in the wrong way, or without enough rest in between. With treatment, this kind is more likely to get better than the “wear and tear” tendinitis that happens over a long period of time.
