  Shoulder impingement syndrome is a painful condition of the upper extremity resulting from a structural narrowing of the subacromial space. […] The estimated prevalence of shoulder complaints is 7% to 34%, often with shoulder impingement syndrome as the underlying etiology. […] Since it was first described in 1852, shoulder impingement syndrome is believed to be the most common cause of shoulder pain, accounting for 44% to 65% of all shoulder complaints. […] Not only is shoulder pain common, but it is often a chronic and/or relapsing complaint, with 54% of patients affected by shoulder pain reporting persistent symptoms after 3 years. […] Individuals will often present with complaints of pain upon lifting the arm or with lying on the affected side. […] Onset is usually gradual or insidious, typically developing over weeks to months, and patients are often unable to describe a direct trauma or inciting event that resulted in the pain.

  Shoulder pain is the most common shoulder impingement symptom. […] The pain may also: Make your shoulder feel tender when you touch it. […] Shoulder impingement pain may get worse during certain movements or positions, including when you: Extend your arm up, above your head. […] You might experience different symptoms depending on which type of shoulder impingement you have. […] In addition to shoulder pain, rotator cuff tendinitis can cause other symptoms, including: Stiffness. […] Most people with shoulder impingement start feeling better a few weeks after they start treatment. […] People usually start feeling better a few weeks after starting treatment, but it can take a few months for your shoulder to heal completely. […] If its not treated, shoulder impingement can get worse and increase your risk of complications or a more severe injury.

  Pain is commonly described as being located over the lateral acromion, frequently with radiation to the lateral mid-humerus. […] A thorough history and physical examination are key to the diagnosis of shoulder impingement syndrome. […] In stage I, impingement primarily results from edema, hemorrhage, or both and is classically seen with overuse-type mechanisms. Stage II is characterized by greater fibrosis and irreversible tendon changes. A rupture or tear of the tendon may result from chronic, longstanding fibrosis and is seen in stage III shoulder impingement syndrome. […] In 60% of patients, physical therapy, NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, and other means of conservative therapy yield satisfactory results within two years.

  Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a condition that causes shoulder pain. To diagnose SIS, health care providers look for a specific set of shoulder symptoms and certain clinical findings, which together suggest that the patient has the condition. In SIS, a part of a person’s shoulder is compressed against another part, and this causes pain with some shoulder movements. […] The main shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) symptom is pain that occurs when the person lifts his or her arms overhead or reaches backwards. The pain can be at the shoulder, near the top of the arm, or down the outside of the arm, and it frequently happens at night or when the person lies on the affected shoulder. […] Symptoms in athletes — Throwing athletes with SIS complain of shoulder stiffness and a difficult or prolonged warm-up period. The pain, in these athletes, tends to occur when they position the arm behind them to get ready for a throw, or when they start to move the arm forward to start the throw. At first, throwing athletes with posterior SIS, have a hard time localizing the pain, but with time the pain focuses at the back of the shoulder. Athletes who perform a serving motion (as in tennis and volleyball) sometimes complain of pain when they are following through or finishing a serve. In general, athletes will feel pain during their repetitive, sport-specific movement pattern.

  Shoulder pain is one of the most common physical complaints affecting people of all ages and for a variety of reasons. The rotator cuff tendons and muscles, which are responsible for moving the shoulder, are a frequent cause of shoulder pain. […] Rotator cuff injuries commonly cause pain and tenderness in the front or side of the shoulder: You may have pain and stiffness when you try to lift your arm and reach for things above your head. There may also be pain when bringing your arm down. The pain is typically at its worst at night. […] Beginning symptoms may be mild. Patients often do not seek treatment at an early stage. These symptoms may include: Mild pain that is present both with use and at rest, Pain radiating from the front of the shoulder to the side of the arm, Sudden pain with lifting and reaching movements, For athletes in overhead sports, possibly pain when throwing, spiking, or serving a ball.

• #1 Shoulder impingement: Symptoms, diagnosis, and stretches

  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326991

  Shoulder impingement causes pain due to inflammation in the shoulder. This inflammation results from repetitive use of the shoulder. Aging and injuries can make the issue worse. […] The classic symptom of shoulder impingement is difficulty lifting the arm past shoulder height. It will also hurt to reach the arm behind the back. […] People with shoulder impingement usually experience general stiffness and throbbing in the shoulder. This type of pain may resemble that of a toothache, rather than the tearing pain of an injured muscle. The person may also see or feel swelling in their shoulder. […] The shoulder will typically ache and be stiff when at rest and then hurt more when the person uses it. […] These symptoms may get worse over time, with pain increasing and strength decreasing. The pain may get worse if the person tries sleeping on the affected side of their body. Putting the arm over the head or behind the back may become increasingly difficult. […] Without treatment, the tendons in the rotator cuff may wear down or tear, which can lead to worse pain, shoulder weakness, and difficulty lifting or using the shoulder at all.

• #1 Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Symptoms & Treatment | HSS

  https://www.hss.edu/condition-list_shoulder-impingement.asp

  The most common symptoms of shoulder impingement are shoulder pain (especially while reaching or throwing overhead), stiffness, tenderness to the touch and/or weakness. […] Pain may be sharp and localized (often during activity) or dull and diffuse (especially while lying down at rest). The location of the pain will depend on which type of impingement is present but is usually felt at the top or back of the shoulder. […] When tingling is present, it most often is localized to the shoulder, but can radiate down the arm. This, however, is also a common symptom of cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck). These conditions can be mistaken for one another or since they can involve adjacent tissues in the continuum of the neck and shoulder even overlap. An accurate diagnosis is important.

  https://www.thecenteroregon.com/pain-injury-services/shoulder-pain/shoulder-impingement/

  Impingement can restrict the normal range of motion in the shoulder joint. You may experience difficulty in fully raising the arm, rotating it, or reaching behind the back. Activities like putting on clothes, combing hair, or fastening a bra may become challenging. […] Impingement can lead to shoulder stiffness, making it feel tight and difficult to move the joint freely. This can affect daily activities and result in decreased mobility.

• #1 Shoulder impingement syndrome – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_impingement_syndrome

  Other symptoms can include a grinding or popping sensation during movement of the shoulder. […] The range of motion at the shoulder may be limited by pain. A painful arc of movement may be present during forward elevation of the arm from 60 to 120. Passive movement at the shoulder will appear painful when a downward force is applied at the acromion but the pain will ease once the force is removed. […] Sleeping with the arm in the overhead position can cause shoulder impingement and may account for shoulder symptoms in those ordinarily not considered to be at risk. This position begins in infancy and continues throughout ones life. Since we are unconscious at night, this is rarely recognized as a cause of shoulder impingement. Impingement (pinching) of the rotator cuff tendon every night causes injury to the cells of the rotator cuff tendon and some cells may die. Over time, very few cells may be left to hold the rotator cuff together resulting in a complete tear of this tendon with minimal trauma. […] It is important to avoid the overhead position since this causes impingement. This is especially important at night since most people sleep like this even if they are unaware of their sleep position since they are unconscious.

• #1 Shoulder Impingement Symptoms (3 Simple Signs) – INTEGRATIVE PHYSIO

  https://www.iphysio.sg/articles/shoulder-impingement-symptoms

  The phrase shoulder impingement is often used as an umbrella term for many different types of shoulder pain. […] Its quite difficult to determine this type of pain from early frozen shoulder or even pain referred from the neck. […] Bizarrely whilst many shoulder issues are painful to sleep on, rotator cuff tendonitis seems to consistently wake patients up at around 2am. If youre not waking up it doesnt meant that you dont have impingement, but if you are it may indicate that you do! […] For instance, if you feel the pain in the mid-range which is from 60degrees to 135degrees but not before and not after, you may well have shoulder impingement. […] One of the best ways to deal with shoulder impingement is by utilising a through physiotherapy assessment and treatment. […] However, correcting your mechanics and dealing with restrictions within the soft tissues and joints whilst increasing strength and stability have been found to be just as good as surgery and with a fraction of the risk and pain. […] Whilst there are occasions for surgery, a recent study actually showed that surgical decompression for shoulder impingement was no better than a sham/placebo surgery.

• #1 Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Practice Essentials, Etiology, Epidemiology

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/92974-overview

  In 1972, Neer first introduced the concept of rotator cuff impingement to the literature, stating that it results from mechanical impingement of the rotator cuff tendon beneath the anteroinferior portion of the acromion, especially when the shoulder is placed in the forward-flexed and internally rotated position. […] Neer describes the following 3 stages in the spectrum of rotator cuff impingement: […] Stage 1, commonly affecting patients younger than 25 years, is depicted by acute inflammation, edema, and hemorrhage in the rotator cuff. This stage usually is reversible with nonoperative treatment. […] Stage 2 usually affects patients aged 25-40 years, resulting as a continuum of stage 1. The rotator cuff tendon progresses to fibrosis and tendonitis, which commonly does not respond to conservative treatment and requires operative intervention. […] Stage 3 commonly affects patients older than 40 years. As this condition progresses, it may lead to mechanical disruption of the rotator cuff tendon and to changes in the coracoacromial arch with osteophytosis along the anterior acromion. Surgical l anterior acromioplasty and rotator cuff repair is commonly required.

  Shoulder impingement syndrome is a common cause of shoulder pain. […] With impingement syndrome, pain is persistent and affects everyday activities. Motions such as reaching up behind the back or reaching up overhead to put on a coat or blouse, for example, may cause pain. […] The typical symptoms of impingement syndrome include difficulty reaching up behind the back, pain with overhead use of the arm and weakness of shoulder muscles. […] If tendons are injured for a long period of time, the tendon can actually tear in two, resulting in a rotator cuff tear. This causes significant weakness and may make it difficult for the person to elevate their arm. […] If symptoms persist or if significant weakness is present, then your doctor may perform an ultrasound, MRI, or arthrogram to rule out a rotator cuff tear.

• #1 Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment

  https://www.chiropractorcollegepark.com/causes-signs-and-treatment-for-shoulder-impingement-syndrome/

  Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff are compressed or irritated as they pass through a narrow space in the shoulder joint. This can often result in pain, swelling, and limited movement in the affected shoulder, especially when you’re trying to lift the arm overhead. […] Symptoms will typically begin mildly, and many people do not seek treatment because it is easy to ignore. Early symptoms include minor pain, present both during activity and during resting periods. […] Without treatment, symptoms will worsen and can lead to pain at night, a loss of strength and motion of the arms, and difficulty doing activities that place the arm behind the back, like buttoning a shirt. […] If the injury is present for a long period without treatment, the tendon could be completely split in two and turn into a rotator cuff tear. This would cause symptoms like significant weakness and difficulty elevating the arm.

Risk factors for impingement of the shoulder tendons or bursa include: […] Shoulder impingement is possible if the shoulder joint is overused in activities such as lifting, tennis, painting, swimming and other overhead work or sports. […] The pain of shoulder impingement is persistent. Daily activities, like putting on a coat, can be painful and difficult. Any motion reaching overhead or up behind the back may cause pain. […] Weakness and pain of the arm and shoulder muscles is a common symptom. […] If left untreated, the shoulders rotator cuff tendons can become thin and tear. Injury of the tendons over time can have serious consequences – the tendon can tear in two, causing a rotator cuff tear that makes it difficult to elevate the arm. Bicep muscles can rupture as a result of the ongoing impingement process.

  Shoulder impingement is a very common cause of shoulder pain. This impingement occurs when there is abnormal contact and grinding of the bones that make up the shoulder joint. Pain and irritation is common with shoulder impingement. Symptoms usually develop gradually over the course of a few weeks to a few months. These symptoms include: Pain when arms are raised above the head […] Pain when lifting the arm […] Pain when lowering the arm […] Pain when reaching […] Pain in the front of the shoulder […] Tenderness in the front of the shoulder […] Pain in the side of the arm […] Aching […] Inability to sleep due to shoulder pain […] Pain when reaching behind the back […] Stiffness […] Weakness […] Swelling. Symptoms of shoulder impingement are very similar to other conditions such as bursitis and tendonitis of the rotator cuff. Decreased range of motion is a major symptom of shoulder impingement. If nonsurgical methods do not decrease symptoms, then there are a few surgical procedures that are recommended to resolve shoulder impingement.

  Other symptoms can include a grinding or popping sensation during movement of the shoulder. […] The range of motion at the shoulder may be limited by pain. A painful arc of movement may be present during forward elevation of the arm from 60 to 120. Passive movement at the shoulder will appear painful when a downward force is applied at the acromion but the pain will ease once the force is removed. […] Sleeping with the arm in the overhead position can cause shoulder impingement and may account for shoulder symptoms in those ordinarily not considered to be at risk. This position begins in infancy and continues throughout ones life. Since we are unconscious at night, this is rarely recognized as a cause of shoulder impingement. Impingement (pinching) of the rotator cuff tendon every night causes injury to the cells of the rotator cuff tendon and some cells may die. Over time, very few cells may be left to hold the rotator cuff together resulting in a complete tear of this tendon with minimal trauma. […] It is important to avoid the overhead position since this causes impingement. This is especially important at night since most people sleep like this even if they are unaware of their sleep position since they are unconscious.

• #2 Impingement Syndrome of the Shoulder

  Patients with shoulder impingement syndrome suffer from painful entrapment of soft tissue whenever they elevate the arm. […] The affected patients generally suffer from persistent pain without any known preceding trauma. They report pain on elevating the arm, on forced movement above the head, and when lying on the affected side. […] The affected patients are generally over age 40 and suffer from persistent pain without any known preceding trauma. The cause may be excessive stress on the shoulder joint or an apparently trivial injury. Patients report pain on elevating the arm between 70 and 120 (the painful arc), on forced movement above the head, and when lying on the affected side. […] The initial treatment is conservative, e.g., with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, infiltrations, and patient exercises. Conservative treatment yields satisfactory results within 2 years in 60% of cases. If symptoms persist, decompressive surgery is performed as long as the continuity of the rotator cuff is preserved and there is a pathological abnormality of the bursa. […] The decision to treat conservatively or surgically is generally made on the basis of the duration and severity of pain, the degree of functional disturbance, and the extent of structural damage. The goal of treatment is to restore pain-free and powerful movement of the shoulder joint.

  https://www.thesteadmanclinic.com/patient-education/shoulder/rotator-cuff-impingement

  Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff and the subacromial bursa are pinched in the narrow space beneath the acromion. This causes the tendons and bursa to become inflamed and swollen. This pinching is worse when the arm is raised away from the side of the body. Impingement may develop over time as a result of a minor injury, or as a result of repetitive motions that lead to inflammation in the bursa. […] Impingement symptoms are marked by pain: The pain is sharp and intermittent in its early stages. As impingement progresses, the pain becomes more of a constant ache. Although pain is usually present after impingement sets in, the original event that led to the problem is often relatively minor and not remembered as painful. Once inflammation starts, simple movements may become painful. Overhead motions tend to increase the pain. There is less space for the bursa when the arm in this position, causing more compression on the bursa. Arm movements at waist level are not painful. In this position, there is more space for the bursa, and therefore it is less compressed. Pain usually increases at night for two reasons. First, inflammation and swelling tend to get worse as the shoulder is used during the day, and this can lead to more pain in the evening. Second, the mind is usually less occupied in the evening, allowing pain to become a major focus of attention.
