Shoulder Sprain and Shoulder Arthritis
A shoulder sprain occurs when a ligament in the shoulder is strained or ripped. Ligaments refer to the connective tissues between bones.
A shoulder sprain known as an acromioclavicular joint injury can cause ligament damage, which can result in the separation of the collarbone from the acromion, the upper bone of the shoulder. This ailment, which accounts for more than 40% of all shoulder injuries, can be brought on by a fall, a car accident, or a sporting mishap like a skiing accident.
Possible symptoms include:
- swelling
- bruising
- neck pain
- decreased range of motion
Osteoarthritis [3] occurs when the tissues in your joints deteriorate, frequently as a result of ordinary wear and tear. Although shoulder arthritis [4] is less frequent than knee or hip arthritis, it can nevertheless have a big impact on the person who has it.
