A member asked:
My friends shoulders hurt when he reaches behind his back, head, and when he sleeps on his shoulders. is it common for rotator tear in both shoulders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex Joint: The shoulder is a complex joint, & many conditions/ injuries (rotator cuff injury, bursitits, tendonitis, labral pathology, impingement, etc) can cause pain/ weakness, especially when lifing the arm. Some injuries of the soulder occur due to acute injury and some are from overuse. I suggest he see an orthopedist for a complete exam. http://drmarkgalland.com/category/shoulder/.
