Arthritis in the shoulder joint can result from various causes, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. Symptoms typically include shoulder pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion.

Biceps tendonitis involves inflammation of the long head of the biceps tendon, which runs from the shoulder to the elbow. Symptoms include shoulder pain, particularly in the front of the shoulder, and may worsen with overhead activities or lifting.

Frozen shoulder is characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often resulting from inflammation and tightening of the shoulder capsule. Symptoms typically progress slowly and may worsen over time, leading to significant limitations in shoulder mobility.

The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, providing stability and cushioning. Tears in the labrum can occur due to trauma, overuse, or repetitive shoulder movements. Symptoms may include shoulder pain, clicking or popping sensations, and feelings of instability.

This condition involves excessive movement or looseness of the shoulder joint, which can result in frequent dislocations or subluxations (partial dislocations). Symptoms may include a sensation of the shoulder "slipping out of place," pain, weakness, and decreased range of motion.

This condition occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become pinched or compressed between the bones in the shoulder. Symptoms often include shoulder pain, particularly with overhead movements, and may worsen with repetitive activities.

This is a common shoulder injury involving damage to the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty with overhead activities.

Tendonitis, or tendinitis, involves inflammation or irritation of a tendon, typically due to overuse or repetitive motion
