Many things can cause shoulder pain. An injury to the joint itself, tendinitis, impingement, osteoarthritis, pinched nerve from the neck, overuse, muscle weakness, rheumatoid or autoimmune arthritis, among many others. If the pain interferes with your function, it may be important.
Rotator Cuff Tendinosis is the most common shoulder pain producer.There are other causes as well.
