Shoulder pain can have various causes, including:

1. Rotator cuff injuries: A rotator cuff is a group of muscles Pain and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, and injuries to these structures can result in shoulder pain and limited mobility.
2. Shoulder impingement syndrome: This occurs when the tendons and bursa (fluid-filled sacs) around the shoulder joint become compressed, leading to pain and limited movement.
3. Frozen shoulder: This is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, often as a result of injury or surgery.
4. Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can both affect the shoulder joint, leading to pain and stiffness.
5. Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, which is a fluid-filled sac that cushions the joint, can cause shoulder pain.
6. Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons that connect the muscles to the bone can cause pain and limited movement.

Treatment for shoulder pain depends on the cause of the pain and can range from rest and physical therapy to medication and surgery. If you are experiencing shoulder pain, it is important to seek medical advice to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
