All types of shoulder pain should be examined by a doctor to ensure they do not develop into a more serious condition or injury. If any of the following symptoms are present, seek medical attention right away: • Shoulder pain that persists for longer than two weeks • Home treatments do not provide relief, such as hot/cold compresses or over-the-counter pain medication • Difficulty sleeping due to pain or discomfort • Severely limited range of motion • Snapping, clicking, or popping sounds when moving the shoulder • Abnormality or deformity of the shoulder People who have a history of shoulder dislocations are at higher risk of developing shoulder pain as it can make the shoulder unstable and prone to re-injury.
