Shoulder pain is a common symptom in our lives, and many people experience shoulder pain for various reasons. However, some shoulder pain may be more than just a superficial muscle or joint problem and can be a sign of some serious medical condition. This article will introduce three diseases to be wary of for shoulder pain.
1. Frozen shoulder.
Frozen shoulder is a common shoulder condition, also known as "fifty shoulder" or "frozen shoulder", that usually occurs in people around the age of 50. Its main symptoms are pain and stiffness around the shoulder joint, especially at night and in the morning, and sometimes affecting arm movement. The causes of frozen shoulder are usually degeneration of the soft tissues of the shoulder, trauma, endocrine disorders, etc. For frozen shoulder, methods such as medication, physics, and hydration can be employed, but the most important thing is to strengthen the functional exercises of the shoulder to relieve pain and restore joint mobility.
2. Cervical spondylosis.
Cervical spondylosis is a common cervical spine disease whose symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, shoulder pain, arm numbness, etc. The causes of cervical spondylosis are usually related to long-term work with the head down, poor posture, cervical spine degeneration and other factors. For cervical spondylosis, methods such as drugs, physics and surgery can be used. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and correct posture is also an important measure to prevent cervical spondylosis.
3. Lung cancer. Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, and its early symptoms are usually mild, such as cough, chest tightness, shoulder pain, etc. Although shoulder pain is not a typical symptom of lung cancer, if it is accompanied by other symptoms, such as persistent cough, sputum production, chest pain, etc., it is necessary to be alert for an early manifestation of lung cancer. For lung cancer screening, regular chest X-rays or CT scans are recommended for high-risk groups. Early detection and early detection of lung cancer can improve rates and survival.
In conclusion, shoulder pain can be a manifestation of many diseases, some of which can be very serious. Therefore, when shoulder pain occurs, it is advisable to seek medical attention in time and undergo a comprehensive examination for early detection and ** underlying disease. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits and correct posture is also an important measure to prevent shoulder pain.
