What are the symptoms of these shoulder disorders?
Common to all of them is pain in the shoulder. For some patients the pain may come and go with daily activities, but for others the pain can be constant. Shoulder pain during the night is common. Many patients also complain of pain in the upper arm (called referred pain). Some describe the discomfort as dull, aching or throbbing. Joint stiffness can limit the normal range of motion causing difficulties with activities such as combing one's hair or getting dressed.

What is Bursitis?
Bursae are thin, fluid-filled sacs located in many joints throughout the body including the shoulder. They function as a cushion between a bone and a nearby tendon. With overuse the bursa in the shoulder can become inflamed and swollen (called bursitis) causing pain with movement and sometimes even at rest. Bursitis often occurs together with rotator cuff tendonitis.

What is a Rotator Cuff tear? The rotator cuff is a large tendon in the shoulder whose main function is to stabilize the shoulder during movement. Degenerative changes in the tendon can occur due to the wear and tear of everyday use. With advancing age, splitting and tearing can occur. The size of tears can range from small to large. If the tear is massive, the tendon will completely split into two pieces.
