About this website

 

This website was created by Dr Gordon Cameron - a specialist in shoulder pain based in Scotland. The content is mostly written by Dr Cameron but also includes some carefully selected articles by other authors.

Shoulder pain or shoulder injury causes problems in daily life for many thousands of people around the world. The shoulder region consists of the bones and capsules that support and make up the shoulder joint, the nerves that supply the tissues of the shoulder, the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff and the overlying larger muscles that help attach the arm and the shoulder to the trunk. It's possible to develop injury or disease in any of these important shoulder related tissues and this website aims to supply helpful information related to all of these shoulder problems. If you've sustained a shoulder injury or have a problem with your shoulder joint then this is the place to look for answers. Read, learn and join in discussion on our shoulder pain forum. 

You can find out more about Dr Cameron by visiting his other shoulder pain website - which is devoted to topics relating mostly to frozen shoulder, although topics such as neck pain, whiplash injury after car accidents and arthritis pain are also covered.

Information about how to contact Dr Cameron is also available here.

Is your shoulder painful? Do you know why your shoulder hurts the way it does?

It can be hard to find the information you need if you are struggling with shoulder pain or shoulder injury. Self diagnosis is not recommended at any time and for any cause but it can be particularly difficult if you are suffering from shoulder pain. There are many possible causes and all of them are quite similar in the way that they affect the shoulder and its movements.

The article below covers a lot of useful ground about the common causes of shoulder pain and explores some of the reasons that cause your shoulder to become painful.

Neck and shoulder pain are a common combination of symptoms. Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out if the pain is arising in the neck and spreading to the shoulder - or vice versa. Both scenarios are possible. The neck and the shoulder share many of the same nerves and nerve pathways so pain arising in one is often felt by the brain to be coming from the other.

Neck and shoulder pain cause significant disability for many people. The combination of pain with a loss of movement is a major issue because sufferers struggle to dress and undress or to wash and bathe themselves.

If you have neck and shoulder pain then the article below about neck and shoulder massage will help you to understand your condition more fully.

Hydrodilatation Treatment of Frozen Shoulder PDF Print E-mail

New ways to treat frozen shoulder are appearing all the time and one of the current approaches is to distend the shoulder joint by injecting sterile water or saline under pressure. The aim is to stretch out the tight joint capsule and thus divide the sticky adhesions that have formed. The process is called Hydrodilatation Treatment for Frozen Shoulder.

Mary-Ann Turnbull, a reader of this site, contacted me recently to ask why I didn't mention hydrodilatation because she had found it very helpful in the treatment of her frozen shoulder problems. I asked Mary-Ann if she would write a few paragraphs about her experiences and you can read about how she found it below.

Calcific Tendonitis of the Shoulder PDF Print E-mail

Shoulder calcification or shoulder calcium deposits are a common source of pain and impingment symptoms at the shoulder joint. The crystals of deposited calcium in the rotator cuff tendons act like bits of grit - like broken glass or sharp stone flakes - rubbing the tendons and catching on them as they move. This causes a gritty feeling or crunching sensation in the shoulder area - and is often painful.

Sometimes the calcium deposits can be larger and filled with a chalky type paste. If these larger deposits of calcium break or rupture then the chalky paste leaks out into the muscle and causes intense severe pain. This is called Acute Calcific Tendonitis - or sometimes Acute Bursitis of the Shoulder.

Diabetes mellitus causes a wide range of joint and muscle problems - including frozen shoulder. Diabetic patients seem to develop frozen shoulder about six times more often than others in the population - and when they get it the pain and stiffness seems to last longer and be more severe. So where do we stand in our understanding of the connection between joint problems and diabetes.
