A tear in the supraspinatus muscle can cause painful symptoms, and the pain is located primarily above the shoulder joint, in the supraspinatus fossa.
The supraspinatus muscle is located mainly above the shoulder joint, on the deep side of the trapezius muscle, starting from the supraspinatus fossa of the scapula and ending above the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Therefore, when a tear occurs in the supraspinatus muscle, it can produce painful symptoms in the supraspinatus fossa, as well as directly affect the range of motion of the shoulder joint.
The supraspinatus muscle is one of the main muscles that make up the rotator cuff muscle group and is rich in pain receptors. When a supraspinatus tear occurs, it will stimulate the local pain receptors, which will lead to severe pain symptoms, and at the same time, lead to muscle contraction weakness, which will lead to movement dysfunction, for example, inability to abduct the shoulder joint.
Tearing of supraspinatus muscle is mainly considered to be related to violent stretching or excessive force, etc. It is necessary to go to orthopaedic department for targeted treatment under the guidance of professional physicians, and choose the treatment plan according to the degree of tearing.
