8 Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Fractures

Although fractures [4] are almost always easy to identify, they can also cause few symptoms other than shoulder pain, especially when they have not occurred completely or are very small. The most common is the appearance of fractures in the clavicle or humerus due to falls or accidents.

What it feels like: fractures usually cause very intense pain, swelling, and purple spots on the skin. However, when they are very small they can only cause a slight pain that increases over time and that prevents movement of the arm.

How to treat it: go to the hospital immediately to identify the fracture site, correct the bone, and immobilize the arm in the correct way to facilitate healing. Know what first aid in case of fracture.
