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.
