Why Does My Shoulder Hurt?

Shoulder pain can stem from many causes—poor sleep position, overuse, injury, or underlying inflammation. Because the shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, it’s also one of the most vulnerable. Understanding what your symptoms mean is the first step toward feeling better. Whether your pain appears when lifting your arm, waking up, breathing, or moving your upper back, knowing the source can help you decide when simple home care is enough and when it’s time to see a specialist.
