Shoulder Arthritis

The shoulder, after the hip and knee, is the third most common joint to be afflicted by arthritis, maybe because it is not a weight-bearing joint like the major joints of the lower limbs in most people. The loss of cartilage that characterises shoulder arthritis, like that of the hip and knee, is typically a source of acute pain, limited function, joint stiffness, and a major reduction in quality of life. While there is no cure for arthritis, there are various nonsurgical and surgical therapies that can help patients manage their symptoms and keep an active lifestyle.

Treatments:

Avoiding activities that place the most stress on the arms, minimising the weight lifted by the involved arm, and seeking to alter sports activities to those that may put less stress on the involved arm are all examples of activity adjustment.

It's possible that moist heat will make the arm more comfortable.

Icing the shoulder three or four times a day, especially after sports or stress on the shoulder, may help reduce inflammation.

Physical therapy can help maintain or improve range of motion and strength, but it can also increase arthritis pain in some cases, therefore its function should be reconsidered if it is causing pain to worsen.

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.
