FAQ
1. What causes shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain can come from many issues, including rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, arthritis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, labral tears, and joint instability. Sometimes pain also comes from the neck.
2. When should I see a doctor for shoulder pain?
You should seek medical care if pain lasts more than a few days, keeps you from lifting your arm, causes night pain, follows an injury or fall, or if there is swelling, weakness, numbness, or a visible deformity.1
3. Why does my shoulder hurt at night?
Night pain is common with rotator cuff inflammation or tears. When lying on the affected shoulder, pressure increases irritation, making the pain worse.
4. Can shoulder pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Most shoulder conditions improve with rest, physical therapy, medications, injections, and activity modification. Surgery is usually considered only if symptoms don’t improve or if an injury is severe.
5. How is shoulder pain diagnosed?
Your provider may use a physical exam, X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI to understand the cause of the pain and guide treatment.
