Evaluation needed: Shoulder pain can be caused by a variety of problems, so the 1st step is having an exam to find the causes. Common pain generators may be bursitis, tendinitis, rotator cuff tear, joint degeneration, or labral tear to name a small few. Evaluating shoulder and scapular mechanics is important in athletes & best done by physician trained in sports/msk. Should pain can be chronic is the cause not fixed.
