What is shoulder joint degeneration?

Shoulder degeneration is a common shoulder disease caused by progressive wear and deterioration of shoulder tissues such as cartilage, ligaments and muscles.

Shoulder degeneration may be related to aging, overuse, repetitive exercise, trauma or genetic factors. Common symptoms include shoulder pain, limited mobility, stiffness and weakness. Pain may worsen with shoulder movements such as lifting, stretching or rotating the arm. In addition, shoulder squeaking or clicking may occur.

Doctors usually diagnose shoulder degeneration through detailed medical history, physical examination and imaging. If you suspect shoulder degeneration or related symptoms, it is recommended to consult your doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Early intervention can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
