Compared with HA, TSA presents with a higher UCLA shoulder scale (MD 3.10, 95% CI 1.13-5.08) and a higher ASES (MD 10.17, 95% CI 1.40-18.87). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It presents very similarly to rotator cuff tendonitis and the two often occur at the same time. [healthcentral.com]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
There are several different types of juvenile arthritis that can cause pain, swelling and potentially destruction of the shoulders. Gout. [arthritis.org]
Treatments that may assist with pain management are: Medication– The right medication can help reduce pain and keep swelling in check. [rothmaninstitute.com]
Arthritic symptoms generally include swelling and pain or tenderness in joints for more than two weeks, redness or heat in a joint, limitation of motion of joint and early morning stiffness. [orthowestfl.com]
The word arthritis means inflammation (swelling) of a joint. Osteoarthritis, also known as "wear and tear" arthritis is the most common type of arthritis. [shoulderpaininfo.com]
- Weakness
Polymyositis, meaning inflammation of many muscles, is one of a group of disorders characterized by inflammation and muscle weakness. The main symptom of polymyositis is symmetric weakness of the large muscles closest to the trunk. [arthritis.org]
Individuals with osteoarthritis of the shoulder typically experience these symptoms: Deep, aching pain in the shoulder, arm, upper back and neck Decreased range of motion Difficulty raising the affected arm Difficulty with overhead activities Shoulder weakness [lancasterortho.com]
Shoulder OA leads to pain that increases with activity and decreases with rest, decreased shoulder range of motion, shoulder and arm weakness, and pain at rest, and difficulty sleeping as the condition worsens. [applephysicaltherapy.net]
Osteoarthritis due to weak ligaments can be prevented in later life by doing Prolotherapy today. Anytime you are injured, make sure you heal completely. The best way to do this is to have a Prolotherapy doctor on your sports team. [getprolo.com]
It is an option if the muscles that make up the rotator cuff of the shoulder are too weak or damaged to properly support and move the joint. [moveforwardpt.com]
- Severe Pain
Pain Mild to severe pain observed during initial stage of the disease and pain become severe during late phase of the disease. Pain becomes progressively severe. Pain is referred to back of scapula or neck. [epainassist.com]
The successful surgery still left you in severe pain. [stemcellinstitute.com]
Patients with moderate to severe pain may benefit from anti-inflammatory medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (e.g. Advil), naproxen (e.g. Aleve) or cox-2 inhibitors (e.g. [arthritis-health.com]
- Surgical Procedure
It is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that removes loose pieces of damaged cartilage and releases contracted capsule. [sidelineortho.com]
If the head of the upper arm bone is the only portion replaced, the procedure is called a hemiarthroplasty. For the acromioclavicular joint, the common surgical procedure is a resection arthroplasty (removing the last half inch of the clavicle). [osteoarthritis.about.com]
In severe cases of AC joint osteoarthritis, when conservative treatment fails, a surgical procedure to remove the arthritic end of the clavicle is required. [shoulderpaininfo.com]
Surgical procedures can range from replacement of the head of the humerus—the “ball” part of the ball-and-socket shoulder joint—to total shoulder replacement or reverse shoulder joint replacement. Don’t let arthritis limit your activities. [fxmendozamd.com]
Resection arthroplasty : The most common surgical procedure used to treat arthritis of the acromioclavicular joint is a resection arthroplasty. Your surgeon may choose to do this arthroscopically. [healthsharelondon.org.uk]
- Asymptomatic
It can gradually evolve from an asymptomatic disease to mild pain and eventually it can cause severe pain. Your shoulder contains a rotator cuff, which connects the shoulder blade with the top of your arm through a collection of tendons and muscles. [healthline.com]
OA of the AC joint cannot be reliably diagnosed by X-ray as, although degeneration may be revealed, similar findings can be seen in asymptomatic individuals [ 6 ]. [patient.info]
The incidence of partial and full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff in asymptomatic patients is over 50% in patients older than 60. [ 10 ] Autopsy studies [ 14 ] have revealed that 75% of shoulders with cartilage degeneration also show evidence of attrition [chiro.org]
Gastrointestinal
- Overeating
The AAOS reports that older people (over age 50) are more likely to develop OA. [healthline.com]
It is common to have rotator cuff tears with shoulder OA due to over use and weakening of the rotator cuff. [applephysicaltherapy.net]
Take an over-the-counter medicine, such as acetaminophen (one brand: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (one brand: Motrin). Do physical therapy or certain exercises to help strengthen the muscles around the joint. [familydoctor.org]

If systemic diseases or other serious conditions are suspected in shoulder pain, blood tests are indicated (CRP, Hb, BSE, rheumatoid factors). When shoulder pain persists, X-ray, ultrasound and MRI scan are indicated. [pijn.com]
In order to understand this condition it is important to understand the anatomy and function of the shoulder. Please read Shoulder Pain Info's section on basic shoulder anatomy. [shoulderpaininfo.com]
- Fracture
Following trauma to the shoulder, such as a fracture, damaged ligaments may go undetected. The excessive play in the joint may result in the development of bone spurs, which is the body’s way of reducing joint motion. [getprolo.com]
According to Neer classification, there were two cases of three-part fractures and 10 cases of four-part fractures. [mianfeiwendang.com]
The arthritis may result from various reasons: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Instability Arthropathy, Post-traumatic (due to fracture malunion) arthropathy, Cuff arthropathy and other. [readingshoulderunit.com]
Differential diagnosis Clavicular fracture. Shoulder (glenohumeral) dislocation. Cervical spine fracture. Rotator cuff disorders (especially in cases of OA and osteolysis). [patient.info]
Can be brought on from previous shoulder surgery, previous injury (e.g. fracture), inflammatory condition (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) or overuse injuries (e.g. weightlifters). [ahpsuffolk.co.uk]
- Arthritis of Shoulder
In glenohumeral joint arthritis, the shoulder may “catch,” or unintentionally stop in the middle of a movement. It may also emit popping sounds or crunching sensations, called crepitation. [arthritis-health.com]

Neurologic
- Irritability
OA of the shoulder is pain and irritation in the cartilage. How is it caused? As cartilage wears out, the rough surfaces of the bones begin to rub against one another and the shoulder becomes painful, stiff and inflamed. [fortiusclinic.com]
With diminished cartilage, inflammation, irritation, pain and swelling can occur. The progression of this disease leads to bone spurs, which is caused by the ends of two bones rubbing together. [sidelineortho.com]
Fecal transplant is used to treat gut infections and is now being studied as a treatment for obesity, urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome and more. [nytimes.com]
- Seizure
Alcohol abuse and seizure disorder are risk factors as well, with the chance of shoulder instability occurring in individuals with either condition being abnormally high. [reference.medscape.com]
- Confusion
Watch Now Sometimes confusion is created when general terms are used interchangeably to refer to cervical osteoarthritis, including cervical spondylosis, degenerative joint disease, or simply neck arthritis. [spine-health.com]
Workup
In combination with the risk factor profile, these data may be useful in predicting the need for an osteoporosis workup and treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Study of Nonconsecutive Patients, Diagnostic Study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Using them in the workup not only allows the shoulder function to be assessed reliably but also helps investigators compare results of different treatments, thus aiding in future improvements. [reference.medscape.com]
Treatment
Conservative treatment are recommended to restore shoulder function while shoulder arthroplasty remains the standard treatment for severe osteoarthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Non-physical treatment If the results of your pain questionnaire are abnormal, your pain specialist will offer you one of the non-physical treatments listed below: Psychological Treatment Depression Treatment Cognitive-Behavioural Treatment Rehabilitation [pijn.com]
