Introduction to Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is hard to live with. Aside from the pain, it can limit your ability to do simple activities like reaching for an item or lifting an object. It can also prevent you from participating in activities with your family (like lifting a child), playing sports (throwing, swinging, or swimming) and from having a proper night’s sleep.
Shoulder Pain Symptoms
- Stiff or painful shoulder
- Limited shoulder range of motion
- Difficulty performing activities of daily living (i.e., getting dressed, completing morning hygiene, driving, working, playing with the kids, or sleeping).
