Sometimes, shoulder pain can be a sign of a heart attack. Call 911 if you experience shoulder pain along with other heart attack symptoms, including:

If you can’t move your arm or have sudden and intense pain, swelling or deformity in your arm, visit urgent care at Goshen Health. Urgent Care Goshen Physicians offers professional care seven days a week for all of your urgent medical needs.
What’s causing your shoulder pain?
Inflammation, whether it’s in the joints (arthritis), tendons (tendinitis) or fluid-filled sacs (bursitis), is a common cause for shoulder pain and discomfort. Pinched nerves, shoulder dislocations, bone fractures and sports injuries can also lead to pain, muscle stiffness and limited mobility.
With thorough exams and advanced imaging technology, your Orthopedic specialist can provide an accurate diagnosis and find the source of your shoulder pain.
