Shoulder Impingement Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Difficulty Reaching Behind Back
It can be difficult reaching behind our backs at the best of times, and some of us will need to ask for help when it comes to washing our backs in the shower. This will become increasingly difficult as we get older and our joints become less mobile.
It can also be affected by certain medical conditions, like shoulder impingement syndrome. People with the condition will find that they have difficulty moving their shoulder joint as much as they would usually be able to. It can mean that some people are unable to do their jobs and take part in other activities.
