Shoulders, hands

Pain in the thumb

Pain in the thumb can be a symptom of serious illnesses that need to be treated in a hospital setting – you can’t cope at home.

Pain in multiple joints

Polyarticular arthralgias can be caused by arthritis or extra-articular disorders (eg, polymyalgia rheumatica and fibromyalgia).

Pain in the deltoid muscle

The deltoid muscle originates from the shoulder blade and collarbone and extends along the shoulder to the top of the forearm. This muscle is also called the triceps, since it includes three bundles: anterior, middle and posterior, and its shape resembles the letter "delta".

Shoulder pain

As with the diagnosis of many other pathological conditions, the diagnostic algorithm for pain in the shoulder area is simplified by first dividing possible pathological conditions into two groups depending on the nature of the onset of the disease (acute, gradual).

Elbow pain

The normal degree of extension and flexion in the elbow ranges from 0 to 150°. When the elbow is bent, supination and rotation are performed at 90°. Pain in the elbow and in the middle of the outer part of the arm may be irradiating, from the shoulder joint area.

Causes of shoulder pain

Shoulder pain may be caused by a rupture of the tendon cuff (rupture of the supraspinatus tendon). The supraspinatus tendon, and sometimes also the adjacent muscles - the subscapularis and infraspinatus, can be torn by a sudden jolt (for example, during a fall). A partial rupture is accompanied by a painful "arch syndrome".

Shoulder pain

In the work of a doctor, complaints about shoulder pain are quite common. If the pain is severe, then patients, as a rule, seek medical help even at night. Complaints about shoulder pain are observed in all age groups, they are especially common in children.

Joint pain

Today, joint pain is one of the most common syndromes encountered in family doctor practice worldwide. According to statistics, 80% of the world's population experiences joint pain to varying degrees.
