Painful Shoulder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A painful shoulder is a term that groups together various problems affecting this joint, one of the most mobile in the body, involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, or the joint itself.
Common symptoms: pain when moving the arm, stiffness, difficulty raising it, or trouble sleeping on that side.
Common causes: overuse, injuries, inflammation of tendons, or joint wear.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist evaluates the joint and the source of the pain, while the physical therapist supports the recovery of mobility. If shoulder pain persists, limits your movements, or interferes with rest, it is worth having a professional check it.
