Rotator Cuff Injury
Shoulder pain that appears when raising the arm or sleeping on that side may be related to a rotator cuff injury, the group of muscles and tendons that surround and stabilize the shoulder joint.
How it develops: it may be due to a sudden strain, repetitive overhead movements, or the gradual wear of the tendons over the years.
Common complaints: pain on the outer side of the shoulder, weakness when raising the arm, and difficulty with certain movements.
Who treats it? The orthopedic surgeon and the traumatologist evaluate this type of injury, and the physical therapist accompanies the functional recovery. If shoulder pain persists or limits your movements, the advisable course is to have a specialist examine the area and guide the follow-up.
