UNDERSTANDING ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES: SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
If you’ve been experiencing shoulder pain or discomfort, it’s essential to understand the signs and symptoms of a potential rotator cuff injury. By recognizing these indicators, you can take the crucial first step towards seeking appropriate care and embark on your path to recovery. Rotator cuff injuries can vary in severity, in addition to pain, they often share these five signs and symptoms: 1. Disturbed Sleep: Rotator cuff pain often worsens at night, interfering with sleep. Sleeping on the affected side can be particularly uncomfortable. 2. Weakness: Individuals with a rotator cuff injury may experience weakness in the affected shoulder, making it challenging to perform tasks that require lifting, reaching, or holding objects. 3. Limited Range of Motion: Reduced mobility in the shoulder is a common symptom. You may struggle to raise your arm, reach behind your back, or perform overhead activities.
4. Difficulty with Daily Activities: Rotator cuff injuries can impact daily tasks such as combing hair, dressing, and reaching for items on high shelves. It can also affect sports and recreational activities. 5. Gradual Onset: Some rotator cuff injuries develop gradually over time due to overuse, while others may result from a sudden injury or trauma, such as a fall or lifting heavy objects.
