shoulder pain

Shoulder pain is a symptom rather than a condition in itself. There are a number of causes of shoulder pain which is severe or ongoing (lasting more than two weeks).

The most common causes of shoulder pain include shoulder disorders such as:

frozen shoulder
rotator cuff disorders
shoulder instability

If you have severe or ongoing shoulder pain, it is important to get the correct diagnosis from your GP. You will then be able to receive the appropriate treatment to manage your pain effectively.

In most cases, shoulder disorders improve with time, and by following the relevant treatment advice.
