Limited shoulder movement and pain

The shoulder is a very important joint in the human body. If the shoulders are straight, people will look more energetic and leave a better impression on others. There are many bones and joints near the shoulders, so they are also very prone to disease. If the shoulder is painful, people's activities will be restricted. Some patients with severe shoulder pain even find it difficult to raise their arms. So, what causes limited shoulder movement and pain?

Limited glenohumeral joint mobility refers to limited shoulder movement, which is common in shoulder periarthritis and shoulder dislocation. In addition to local treatment, the primary disease also needs to be treated.

Causes and common diseases

1. Shoulder trauma Trauma can lead to shoulder dislocation.

2. Shoulder periarthritis This disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old. The basic factors are soft tissue degeneration and weakened ability to withstand various external forces. The chronic trauma caused by long-term excessive activity and poor posture is the main cause of the triggering factor.

3. Immobilization for too long If the shoulder is immobilized for too long after upper limb trauma, the surrounding tissues of the shoulder will atrophy and form adhesions.

4. Improper treatment of acute shoulder contusion, improper treatment of traction injury, etc.

5. Other common diseases

(1) Shoulder fracture: swelling, pain, and limited joint movement in the shoulder joint.

(2) Subacromial bursitis pain, nodules, cysts, local tenderness, shoulder girdle muscle atrophy, and limited shoulder joint movement.

(3) Instability of the shoulder joint, difficulty in flexion and extension, sensory impairment and limited function of the lateral side of the shoulder and arm, fatigue, joint relaxation, muscle atrophy, nodules, etc.

(4) Split rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, square shoulder deformity, painful arc sign, limited shoulder joint movement, weakness, fatigue, etc.

(5) Rotator cuff injury, sports injury, frozen shoulder, muscle atrophy, limited shoulder joint movement, joint contracture, nodules, etc.
