Shoulder and Neck Pain Causes
The most common cause of shoulder pain and neck pain is injury to the soft tissues including the muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. This can occur from whiplash or other injury to these areas. Degenerative arthritis of the spine in the neck (cervical spine) can pinch nerves that can cause both neck pain and shoulder pain. Degenerative disc disease in the neck (cervical spondylosis) can cause local neck pain. Abnormal conditions involving the spinal cord,heart,lungs, and some abdominal organs also can cause neck and shoulder pain.
Here are some examples:
Brokencollarbone: Falling on your outstretched arm can cause your collarbone to break. This is particularly common when cyclers fall off of their bicycles.
Bursitis: A bursais a sac over the joints to provide a cushion to the joints and muscles. These bursae can become swollen and painful after injuries.
Heart attacks: Although the problem is the heart, heart attacks can cause shoulder or neck pain, known as "referred" pain.
Brokenshoulder blade: An injury to the shoulder blade usually is associated with relatively forceful trauma.
Rotator cuffinjuries: The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that support the shoulder. These tendons can be injured during lifting, when playing sports with a lot of throwing, or after repetitive use over a long time.
Shoulder or A-C separation: The collarbone (clavicle) and shoulder blade (scapula) are connected by ligaments. With trauma to the shoulder, these ligaments can be stretched or torn.
Whiplash injury: Injury to the ligamentous and muscular structures of the neck and shoulder can be caused by sudden acceleration or deceleration, as in a car accident.
Tendonitis: The tendons connect the muscles to the bones. With strain, the tendons can become swollen and cause pain. This is also referred to as tendinitis.
Gallbladderdisease: This can cause a pain referred to the right shoulder.
Any cause of inflammation under the diaphragm can also cause referred pain in the shoulder
Shoulder and Neck Pain Symptoms
Pain: All pain seems sharp, but pain can also be described as dull, burning, crampy, shocklike, or stabbing. Pain can lead to a stiff neck or shoulder and loss of range of motion. Headachemay result. The character of each symptom is important to your doctor because the particular features can be clues to the cause of your pain
Weakness: Weakness can be due to severe pain from muscle or bone movement. The nerves that supply the muscles, however, also could be injured. It is important to distinguish true weakness (muscle or nerve damage) from inability or reluctance to move because of pain or inflammation.
Numbness: If the nerves are pinched, bruised, or cut, you may not be able to feel things normally. This may cause a burning sensation, a loss of sensation, or an altered sensation similar to having your arm "fall asleep."
Coolness: A cool arm or hand suggests that the arteries, veins, or both have been injured or blocked. This may mean that not enough blood is getting into the arm.
Color changes: A blue or white tinge to the skin of your arm or shoulder is another sign that the arteries or veins could have been injured. Redness can indicate infection or inflammation. Rashes may be noted as well. Bruising may be evident.
Swelling: This may be generalized to the whole arm or may be localized over the involved structures (a fracturearea or an inflamed bursa, for example). Muscle spasms or tightness may simulate actual swelling. Dislocation or deformity may cause a swollen appearance or, paradoxically, a sunken area.
Deformity: A deformity may be present if you have a fracture or a dislocation. Certain ligament tears can cause an abnormal positioning of the bony structures.
Shoulder and Neck Pain Treatment
Self-Care at Home
Minor injuries that have only slight pain can be treated at home. If the source of the pain and the cause of the pain are not known, or if symptoms suggest you might have a more serious condition, you should contact your doctor while initiating basic care measures.
Rest: Use the injured area as little as possible for the first two to three days, then slowly begin to exercisethe injured area.
Rest: Use the injured area as little as possible for the first two to three days, then slowly begin to exercisethe injured area.
This speeds recovery.
Ice: Place the ice in a plastic bag, wrap the bag with a towel, and then apply to the injured area for 15-20 minutes every hour. Directly applying ice can damage the skin.
Elevation: Elevation of the injured area above your heart helps the swelling go down. This reduces your pain. Use pillows to prop yourself up.
Pain control: Acetaminophen(Tylenol) or ibuprofen(Advil, Motrin) can help control swelling and pain.
Heat: Do not apply heat in the first week because it can increase the swelling in the injured area and worsen your pain.
