Shoulder Pain Overview

Many people develop shoulder pain at one time or another in their lives. In order to understand the many causes of shoulder pain and severe shoulder pain it is important to understand the symptoms. Symptoms of shoulder injury can include severe shoulder pain during activity, such as walking or getting up from a chair; shoulder pain that prevents them from doing activities; or shoulder pain at night that prevents them from sleeping. Shoulder pain can often arise from symptoms that develop in everyday wear and tear, overuse, or injury. Shoulder problems and shoulder injuries most often occur during sports or recreational activities, work-related tasks, or home projects.

In the healthy shoulder, the upper arm bone (humerus) ends in a ball shape. This fits into a socket formed by the shoulder blade (scapula). Together this ball and socket form the shoulder. See the illustration of the shoulder on this page to explore more about shoulder conditions.
