What Causes Shoulder Pain?
Seek treatment promptly for mild or severe shoulder pain to prevent symptoms and conditions from worsening. Common causes of shoulder pain include the following injuries.
Fractures
Fractures, such as a fractured clavicle or humerus, are a common cause of shoulder pain as they restrict shoulder movement and often result in pain and swelling around the injured area.

This group of four muscles plays a crucial role in the lifting and rotation of the arm by connecting the humerus to the shoulder blade. To identify potential rotator cuff tears, watch for symptoms like pain during specific shoulder movements, a sensation of cracking when moving the arm, and weakness while lifting or rotating the ar
