Woke up with your shoulder hurting? Does the pain get worse whenever you move your shoulder? Noticed you can’t move your shoulder like you once could? All these signs can indicate you have arthritis. But there are several types of arthritis that can affect your shoulder, of which the treatment is as simple as an internet search for “bone and joint specialist near me.”

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Not only is rheumatoid arthritis (RA) a joint disorder, it’s also an immune disorder, but still treatable by a Bismarck orthopedic surgeon at a bone and joint clinic. When you have this condition, your immune system incorrectly identifies the lining of your joint as harmful. Thus, your immune system targets and destroys it.

In addition to pain, you may feel some stiffness from RA that is more prevalent in the morning. While you may notice your joints to be tender and warm, you will also develop symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, or fatigue.

Unfortunately, your symptom may not stop at shoulder pain and swelling. The Mayo Clinic stated that around 40 percent of people with RA have issues in other parts of the body, such as the lungs, nerves, eyes, bone marrow, and blood vessels.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis primarily affects your hands, hips, spine, and knees.. This form of arthritis occurs due to the wearing away of cartilage in between your bones.

When you develop osteoarthritis, you may experience any of the following symptoms such as joint stiffness, swelling, loss of flexibility, joint popping/cracking, grating sensation in between joints, and tenderness.

Avascular Necrosis

While avascular necrosis isn’t a kind of arthritis, it’s a condition that can lead to severe arthritis in your shoulder. You develop this condition when your bone tissues don’t get enough blood. As the inadequate blood supply continues, tiny breaks in your bones occur. Eventually, this condition can cause your bones to collapse.

You’re most at risk for this condition if you have a history of excessive alcohol intake or take large dosages of steroids for prolonged periods.

Although it can occur at any age, you usually develop this condition when you’re between the ages of 30 and 50.

Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy

If you sustain a soft tissue tear in your rotator cuff (shoulder joint), you can develop a condition known as arthropathy. This condition isn’t common, but it may occur if you have an untreated injury since arthritis may set into the joint.
With this form of arthritis, you lose the cartilage that protects your bones. You may develop any of the following symptoms, such as pain, weakness, upper arm swelling, and stiffness.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Post-traumatic arthritis in the shoulder arises after an injury to your shoulder when there is an injury to that part, such as a dislocation or fracture.

When post-traumatic arthritis occurs, you may develop excess fluid building up in the joint. Pain and swelling then takes place.

When you have any of these types of arthritis, you may lose your range of motion and will experience chronic pain. Using the internet, write the search words “joint and bone specialist near me,” and you’ll find a bone and joint clinic that can help.
