You might have a condition called Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS), where the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles that stabilize your shoulder get trapped as they pass through the shoulder joint. Impingement happens with repeated pinching and irritation of rotator cuff tendons and the bursa (the padding under the shoulder bone) which can lead to injury and chronic pain. Shoulder complaints are the third most common musculoskeletal problem after back and neck disorders. The highest incidence is in women and generally people aged 45–64 years. Of all shoulder disorders, shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) accounts for 36%, making it the most common shoulder injury. The big issue is it can lead to worse problems.
