Question

What is the medical condition that causes pain in the shoulder due to compression of tendons and bursae?

Answer 1

Simple. The shoulder tendon gets squeezed by the bones when you lift up your arm. It hurts but gets better with time and rest.

Answer 2

Impingement syndrome is when the acromion(bone over the rotator cuff) develops a spur.This spurring closes down the space between the two, causing pain and inflammation of the bursal tissues(bursitis).. . If left untreated,a rotator cuff tear may eventually occur.. . See your orthopedic surgeon when this condition starts to interfere with daily activities.. . The pain and swelling can be relieved with a relatively minor procedure called a decompression acromioplasty.Most surgeons complete this through a shoulder arthroscopy.

Answer 3

Rotator cuff tendinitis is an inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the tendons of the shoulder. . . Other common names:. Pitcher's Shoulder, Swimmer's Shoulder, Tennis Shoulder

Answer 4

Shoulder impingement syndrome is defined as a painful entrapment of the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial-subdeltoid bursa, and/or the biceps tendon between the humeral head and the coracoacromial arch.
