Shoulder lifting pain may be caused by physiological factors such as exertion, or it may be caused by pathologic factors such as frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injury. 1. Physiological factors: when the patient’s long-term heavy lifting or after strenuous exercise, it will lead to the muscles in a state of tension and exertion, the body produces metabolic products, lactic acid accumulation, when the patient’s shoulder will appear when lifting up the pain, which belongs to the normal physiological phenomenon, and can be relieved after resting. 2. Frozen shoulder: If there is long-term over-activity or poor posture, aseptic inflammation may occur in the shoulder joint and the surrounding soft tissues, resulting in pain when lifting the shoulder, accompanied by limited joint activities. 3. Rotator cuff injury: when the patient’s shoulder is affected by chronic injury, insufficient blood supply, trauma and other factors, it will lead to rotator cuff injury, resulting in pain in lifting up the shoulder, accompanied by symptoms such as limited shoulder movement, muscle spasm and muscle atrophy. Shoulder lifting pain may be caused by other reasons, if the symptoms continue to be unrelieved, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time to get a clear diagnosis, and then take targeted treatment.
