4. Shoulder Impingement
Shoulder impingement is often a complication of previous injuries. The rotator cuff swells when injured, as in cases of tendonitis or tears. Because swelling reduces the amount of space between the rotator cuff muscles and the shoulder bone, it causes the muscles themselves to rub (impinge) on the bone.
Symptoms include sudden, severe pain when lifting the arms overhead or backward. Another sign is pain that radiates from the front of the shoulder to the side of the arm.
