A member asked:
Where does gleno-humeral (shoulder) arthritis pain emanate from?are nerve endings exposed when cartilage is gone? will covering up damage reduce pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoulder arthritis: There are nerve endings in the synovial and capsular tissue that are stretch sensitive that will cause pain. Limited joint motion will also cause indirect stretching of nerves that will cause pain.
