Can you get arthritis in your shoulder?
Lately, I've had difficulty lifting my arm above my head, and there's a constant pain in my shoulder. My doctor mentioned it could be due to aging. Is it possible to develop arthritis in the shoulder joint?

Yes beta, shoulder arthritis can cause a lot of stiffness and restrict your movement. Along with your doctor's advice, practicing gentle 'skandh sanchalan' (shoulder rotations) very slowly every morning helps keep the joint mobile.

Yes, you can get arthritis in the shoulder joint. I suggest going to a reputable hospital to get an X-ray or MRI done. Ask your orthopedist clearly about the wear and tear so you can start the right physiotherapy.

Yes, shoulder arthritis is real. My uncle had it and he couldn't even reach for his favorite sweets on the top shelf! He got treated by a good doc and is doing much better now, so don't lose hope.

Yes, shoulder arthritis can happen, especially if you have had an old gym or sports injury. Don't ignore it as it can affect your sleep and desk work. Book a quick consultation with an ortho to get it sorted.

Yes, shoulder osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can limit your arm movement significantly. A balanced approach combining targeted physical therapy and a proper diagnosis from an orthopedic specialist is the best way to handle it.
