10 Causes of Shoulder Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #7: Dislocation
A shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball of the upper arm pops out of the shoulder socket. A partial shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball is only partially removed from the socket. This is not as painful as a full dislocation but still causes pain and seriously impedes a person’s range of motion.
A full dislocation occurs when the ball is completely pushed out of the socket. This can cause an inability to move the joint at all and can drastically reduce a person’s quality of life and their ability to function.
