Are you over 60 years old? Are you a professional athlete or you were in the past? Have you recently injured your shoulder? If you have answered positively at least on one of the questions and you suffer pain in your shoulder, then it is possible that you have a scapulohumeral periarthritis or a periarthrosis.
What is a scapulohumeral periarthritis and why it develops?
A scapulohumeral periarthritis is a degenerative inflammatory process in a shoulder joint that afflicts periarticular structures: muscles, fiber bands, ligaments and synovial bursas.
As a result of degenerative processes, the following conditions occur:
- Tendinitis
- Shoulder bursitis
- Synovitis
A widespread view on a shoulder joint arthrosis is that it develops as a result of aging processes in a cervical spine that derails its trophicity and innervation. A shoulder frame consists of a rotatory cuff, which, in turn, is made of a group of small muscles (supraspinous, infraspinatus, small, round and subscapular) and their ligaments. It is considered that the disease is preceded by continuous, regular microtraumas in periarticular structures as a result of disproportional physical pressure sustained for a prolonged period of time. This results in tissue swelling, pain syndrome and aseptic inflammatory processes in a joint.
What are the disturbing factors, symptoms of a scapulohumeral periarthritis?
First and foremost – a pain syndrome. Annoying, aching, incessive pain that grows at night, especially at a body position “on a side”. Pain makes it difficult to raise or stretch out an arm. This condition is called a “medium arch”, meaning pain reaches its pinnacle when an arm is stretched at a 90–120-degree angle from a body. The most painless body position with a periarthritis condition will be an arm bent in an elbow. If an inflammation turns into an acute phase and manifests in high temperature, swelling and redness around a joint, and soreness of periarticular soft tissues during palpation then we recommend that you immediately saw an orthopedist.
