What causes shoulder pain?

There can be many different causes of shoulder pain. For a man of your age and characteristics, the most common causes may be:

1. Muscle Strains and Injuries: Your muscles are strained or strained as a result of heavy lifting, straining while doing sports, or sudden movements.

2. Tendon Inflammation (Tendonitis): Inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder usually occurs as a result of repetitive movements.

3. Bursitis: Inflammation of the small fluid sacs called bursae in the shoulder joint.

4. Frozen Shoulder: Hardening of the capsule in the shoulder joint and decreased mobility.

5. Muscle Tears: Tears, especially in the muscle group called the rotator cuff.

6. Arthritis: Joint inflammation can develop due to overuse or age.

7. Trauma: A blow or injury you have received to your shoulder before.

I have a few questions to help me provide more detailed information:

1. When did you notice the pain and how long has it been going on?

2. When is the pain worse, at certain times of the day or after certain movements?

3. Is the pain constant or does it come and go?

4. Have you ever experienced pain while doing your daily activities?

5. Have you had any injuries or surgeries in the shoulder area before?

This information will help me understand the cause of your shoulder pain. In the meantime, as general recommendations, you should be careful not to overexert your shoulder, rest, and apply ice if necessary.

I am not a real doctor and this is not a medical diagnosis.
