Middle-aged and elderly men have pain in their right shoulder and right arm. What happened?

This is scapulohumeral periarthritis, which is a common disease with shoulder pain and inconvenient movement as the main symptoms. The onset age of the disease is about 50 years old, which is more common in manual workers. If not treated in time, it may seriously affect the functional activities of the shoulder joint. Its main symptom is paroxysmal shoulder pain, mostly chronic attack. Later, the pain gradually increased or dull pain, or knife pain, was persistent. Pain is often aggravated by climate change or fatigue, and it can spread to the neck and upper limbs (especially elbows). The movement of shoulder joint in all directions can be restricted, especially abduction, lifting, internal rotation and external rotation.

Conservative treatment is mainly used for scapulohumeral periarthritis. Commonly used methods include: oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, physical therapy, local blocking of pain points, massage, self-massage and other comprehensive therapies.
