What Causes Shoulder Pain And Muscle Tenderness On The Arm?

I injured my shoulder last year sometime. It could have been an accumulation of events. I run outside during the winter & have fallen on pavement a few times on my right shoulder. I feel a dull pain when I sleep on my right shoulder. That comes an goes. I also feel a muscle tenderness on the back side of my arm. I tried to shoot a layup today & I had to stop because it felt like my shoulder popped out of place. could this be a rotator cuff injury or is it another type? When it happened last fall I reduced my running and did some excerises but not enough

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
Respected sir, I have understood your concern see recurrent injury to shoulder joint may decrease stability of joint already shoulder joint is less stable joint and muscle weakness also contribute to pain in shoulder joint. see recurrent injury is due to less stability and laxity of capsule and ligaments around the joint. you can take 15day physical therapy treatment which includes ultrasound and IFT modalities for pain relief. gradually starting with pendulum exercises and don't stretch the joint. you need to strengthen
the scapular muscles which are back muscles so physical therapists will help you to do that. I hope you have satisfied with the answer.
