Shoulder Pain/Swelling:
Differential Diagnosis
(In a Page: Signs and Symptoms)
- Trauma and sports related injuries
–Acromioclavicular dislocation (“separated
shoulder”)
–Sternoclavicular dislocation
–Glenohumeral dislocation
–Proximal humeral fractures
- “Impingement syndrome”
–Progressive degeneration and inflammation of the subacromial contents (rotator cuff and subacromial bursa) in part due to compression between the acromion and the head of the humerus
–May result in rotator cuff tear
-
Rotator cuff strain, tear, or rupture
–May occur acutely (secondary to trauma) or, more commonly, due to a relatively mild (e.g., reaching overhead) insult to a chronically degenerative cuff
-
Degenerative joint disease
-
Tendonitis
-
Subacromion and/or subcapsular bursitis
-
AC joint inflammation
-
Calcific tendonitis
–Deposition of calcium crystals in the rotator cuff with resulting inflammation and severe pain
-
Suprascapular nerve entrapment
-
Bicipital tendonitis
-
Adhesive capsulitis
–Thickened, scarred joint capsule and “frozen shoulder” due to prolonged postinjury or postsurgery immobilization
-
Cervical disc disease and radiculopathy
-
Gout
-
Pseudogout
-
Connective tissue disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, SLE)
-
Brachial plexus injury
-
Septic arthritis
-
Referred pain from MI, cholecystitis, splenic injury
-
Malignancy (e.g., apical lung)
-
Lyme disease
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Thoracic outlet syndrome
-
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy
