SHOULDER
PAIN
Your shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body. But its wide range of movement also means that it’s easy to injure your shoulder. Shoulder pain is any pain in or around your shoulder joint.
A painful shoulder can make even simple tasks difficult to do. You might find it hard to use your arm or your hand. But getting the right treatment can help.
Some of the symptoms includes:
-
Intense pain in the shoulder or down the arm
-
Localised swelling of the shoulder
-
Weakness or numbness in the arm or hand
-
Reduced range of movements in the shoulder
-
Instability of the shoulder
-
Disc InjuryA disc works almost like a shock absorber, but over time they can become worn or damaged. Symptoms of a disc-related injury might include a loss of mobility in the neck, numbness into your shoulder or arm, and weakness in your neck.
-
Stiff NeckDifficulty moving the neck sideway without turning the entire body. It may also be accompanied by a headache, neck pain and shoulder pain or arm pain. In most cases, pain and stiffness go away naturally within a week.
-
WhiplashWhiplash injury occurs when there is a sudden jolt to the head and neck in any accident that may cause a forceful back-and-forth motion. Motor vehicle accident is the most common cause behind the whiplash injury, but can also happen in sports or other trauma.
