What are the symptoms of shoulder arthritis?
This is part 2 of our discussion on shoulder arthritis. Previous posts include:
Pain is by far the most common symptom of arthritis of the shoulder. This pain is normally aggravated by activity and worsens over time. The pain may be felt as a deep ache or may be centered in the back of the shoulder. This pain also normally intensifies with changes in the weather. Night pain is also incredibly common with most shoulder problems.
Decreased range-of-motion is also very common with shoulder arthritis. This may be secondary to pain or may be from a tight shoulder capsule or bone spurs.
Please stay tuned for more posts on the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder arthritis.
