Common to Serious Arm Pain Causes
Arm pain can be in the upper or lower arm. You may feel arm pain on the outside of your shoulder. Arm pain can also travel further down the arm toward the elbow.
Risk factors associated with throwing injuries in young baseball players
Few studies have retrospectively analyzed the relationship between joint range of motion (ROM) and muscle flexibility and shoulder and elbow throwing injuries in a large number of elementary school baseball players. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively identify the physical factors related to shoulder and elbow throwing injuries in younger baseball players.
Frozen Shoulder and Thyroid Disease
Though it's unclear why, adhesive capsulitis (commonly known as frozen shoulder) is more common in people with endocrine problems, including thyroid disease. Frozen shoulder often starts with difficulty moving your shoulder or dull, aching pain in your shoulder area. It gets worse over time and can eventually limit your shoulder mobility.
Dislocating your shoulder after falling is common. But regaining strength isn’t so easy
The rotator cuff tendon is formed by four muscles that let you elevate and rotate the shoulder. They converge to form a tendon that attaches to the ball part of the shoulder. If a large tear occurs acutely from a fall, the shoulder can not only be unstable but have significant weakness due to the rotator cuff tendon tear.
After shoulder arthroplasty, patients can expect to return to racket sports
A study that specifically looked at return to racket sports, not sports in general, in patients who underwent anatomic total shoulder or reverse shoulder arthroplasty showed a 79% return to racket sports by 12-month follow-up.
