While mild soreness after activity is normal, shoulder pain that lingers could indicate a rotator cuff injury, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, or a labral tear. Early diagnosis often leads to faster recovery and fewer invasive treatments.
5 Warning Signs
- Pain lasting longer than two weeks
- Night pain that interrupts sleep
- Weakness lifting overhead
- Clicking or catching
- Loss of motion
Don’t Ignore It
Early treatment may include physical therapy, activity modification, injections, or other non-surgical options.
