Common symptoms
Shoulder issues often present with pain, weakness, stiffness or reduced range of movement that affects daily tasks like lifting, reaching or sleeping.
- Pain when lifting the arm overhead or behind the back
- Sharp pain with certain angles — typical of impingement
- Stiffness and difficulty with reaching (common in frozen shoulder)
- Weakness or heaviness during overhead activities
- Clicking, grinding or sense of instability
If you experience sudden loss of movement after trauma or severe shoulder weakness, seek medical attention promptly.
