WHY DOES MY SHOULDER HURT? | 12 Home tests to evaluate shoulder pain

Why does your shoulder hurt? There could be many causes of shoulder pain. Today I’m sharing 12 of my favorite tests you can do at home to diagnose your shoulder pain symptoms and help you to feel better. These tests will help determine the cause of your shoulder pain; an important first step in receiving the right treatment. A shoulder pain evaluation from a doctor of physical therapy.

THE SHOULDER TESTS PRESENTED IN THIS VIDEO ARE MEANT TO BE USED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES AND IN NO WAY REPRESENT AN INDIVIDUAL DIAGNOSIS OR PLAN OF CARE. FOR SUCH DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLAN, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT A LOCAL PHYSICAL THERAPIST OR DOCTOR.
================
Your shoulder is one of the most-complex joints in your body. It’s the most mobile joint you have, but it also has to be very strong and stable to function properly. There are multiple ligaments that tie the joint together and many muscles/tendons that move the shoulder through its available range of motion.
When everything functions properly the shoulder joint is an amazing structure.
However, due to the complex nature of the shoulder there are many things that can potentially go wrong with it. Tendonitis, arthritis, bursitis, labral tears, shoulder impingement, and rotator cuff problems are just a few of the most-common shoulder issues that I deal with as a physical therapist.
These shoulder conditions can be very painful and interfere with many of the activities that we go through on a daily basis.
Each of these shoulder problems is treated a little differently, so it’s important to figure out exactly what’s causing your pain. Fortunately there are many tests and other evaluation tools you can actually perform right at home to help determine the most-likely cause of your shoulder pain.
In this video, I’ll walk you through some of the best, simplest tests you can perform on your own to determine the cause of your shoulder symptoms. You can then use these findings to help guide you to the best treatment plan to help alleviate your pain.
Here’s the thing - this is a LOT of information and there are a LOT of tests to cover. My goal is to provide you with as comprehensive a video as possible while not boring you with the super small details. That said, this is a longer video, but my goal was to provide you with the best video possible to hopefully help diagnose your shoulder pain.
If you’d like to cut right to the issue you know you’re experiencing, please see the time stamps below to scroll forward in this video.
1. CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY: 1:44
2. IMPINGEMENT TESTS: 2:22
3. ROTATOR CUFF TENDONITIS: 5:22
4. ROTATOR CUFF TEAR: 7:05
5. BURSITIS: 10:18
6. SHOULDER OSTEOARTHRITIS: 11:32
7. AC JOINT TESTS: 13:50
8. LABRUM / SLAP TEAR TESTS: 15:35
9. SHOULDER INSTABILITY TESTS: 16:49
So what’s the next step after you reach a diagnosis? Typically the emphasis is increasing shoulder range of motion, improving rotator cuff strength, or some combination of both! Here are my go-to exercises to help alleviate the shoulder pain symptoms you might be experiencing:
IMPINGEMENT: • How To ELIMINATE Shoul...
INCREASE RANGE OF MOTION / SHOULDER STRETCHING: • Frozen Shoulder GONE! ...

I am a veteran paratrooper, with numerous injuries sustained from my service. I do not have health insurance, as I simply haven't been able to afford it for several years. the VA only treats people who were wounded in combat, so I'm left to the wind with pre-existing conditions that no one was willing to treat even when I had insurance. you have given me peace of mind because I can simply muscle through the pain because I have impingement and likely tendonitis. I've deep shoulder pain you're more than 30 years as a result, which has been manageable by keeping my shoulders strong. but for the last year or two, I haven't been able to find anything that works while sleeping will still be quite a painful experience, I am delighted beyond words that I can enjoy doing the things I need to do and like to do without worrying if I will completely destroy my arm beyond any affordable repair. thank you so much

[@Julia-kd7iy]

I got a positive result from the first test yesterday. My right elbow wouldn't go higher than my shoulder level. Then, I watched your shoulder impingement video and did the exercises and stretching. Today, I get both positive and negative results depending on my shoulder joint location. I see a huge improvement already. Thank you.

[@toneandtighten]

That's great, Julia Lee! I hope you continue to see an improvement! Thanks for sharing.

[@fernandomarulanda8984]

Both of you have done an excellent job by demonstrating where the shoulder pain is normally generated. In my case I'm 77 year old with arthritis and now I know the 80 percent is due to this decease.

i passed all the test in my problematic shoulder with no pain, or very little due to overstretching it. but i'm still concerned with the grinding sound and numbness in my shoulder when do the full range of motion (Y, T, A). i'll keep looking but if nothing works, i perhaps need to go see a PT in person. thank you for this amazing video x

[@monjiro9186]

👍👍👍👍👍 2 months ago i slipped on wet pavement breaking my fall by extending one arm. Since thenive been experiencing Dull aching pain and shooting pain when lifting or throwing.

[@KimRobbins]

Very helpful! I had an actual thin small tear down my right bursa a few years back. It got better then my left shoulder started bothering me. That went away after a few months. THEN, right shoulder pain again, different spot. After 6 months or so I finally went to a specialist. They thought it was an impingement. Sent me to therapy. After about 2 or 3 sessions the activities started causing severe neck pain (I have a bulging disc on the right side). I had to stop. It still hurts a lot and I sleep on that side. I don’t know what to do since the therapy makes my neck hurt too much (and I’m not trying to get a disc replacement on my neck😳!) I took these tests -- my should hurt just from using it each time. Couldn’t do the partner ones yet but the most painful was the osteoarthritis one. And my shoulder pops each time I raise it. Can’t lift past 45 degrees or so without pain. Do you have a video on osteoarthritis? Still not sure it’s that but I’m over 50. I did have X-rays but she didn’t mention osteoarthritis.

It keeps me in a light weight for bench and an on again and off again related to push ups? Any ideas?

[@TobiasELee]

BTW - I'm a 61 year old man - very active, do lots of pushups, band work, HIIT running, biking. I recently started getting horrible should pain during workouts that now seems to bother me at night and when I do that first test for shoulder impingement. I also have a VERY sore spot in the back of my shoulder blade that seems to be connected. Not knowing anything about this, I assumed I had possibly suffered a rotator cuff tear. But after doing your tests, it appears that I might have an impingement instead. Anyway, really thought this was an excellent video to explain this stuff. I'll try some of the exercises you suggested and see if I can get a handle on this - and of course will talk to my doctor if it persists. Been going on for over a month now. Old ain't for babies, man. LOL! Thanks again for your help and info.

I was recommended your video to strengthen my rotator cuff over the phone by an NHS phisio after hurting my shoulder during sleeping( there is such a shortage they have to do diagnosis over the phone) She thinks strengthening my rotator cuff will help. I then saw this video and looks like I tested positive for inpingment and AC. Any advice for side sleepers? I don't know how to stop hurting it over and over. 😬

[@toneandtighten]

Thank you so much for your support and comment!

[@JerryDougherty]

@@toneandtighten based on your tests it seemed pretty clear that she is dealing with a rather nasty impingement along with maybe some associated Bursitis. She started last night with the door stretches and the back roller stretch and swears that today she is already feeling relief. So these exercises will definitely become part of her nightly activity for a while. Eventually I will be working her into some of the strength exercises but for now we are just going through the motions of performing those without any resistance. Seems like we are on the right path.

Hi there, great video. I have a sharp pain in my shoulder and on the back of the shoulder. I also have pain when I lift my head up, and then all my shoulder and arm just get Nam, if I put my head down for 3 seconds then all is ok, but the shoulder and arm and back of shoulder is in pain, a sharp pain. The pain pint I fill is in the elbow+arm+shoulder+back of shoulder+neck. I did all your tests as you showed, I still not sure what is the source of the pain, the central cause of the pain. I did a X-Ray test and a C.T. test and they found that in my spine C5-C7 the gap is very low, but the did not think that that is the cause of the pain.

Both the rotator cuff tendinitis and rotator cuff tear (couldn’t move right palm very high nor off the back at all) were positive. Is this positive for tear or could RC tendinitis cause both of these to be positive? Thanks! Your video was the most helpful one I’ve found. Also I’m assuming I need to see an orthopedist and that there aren’t exercises that will help this?

Thanks! I have a better idea what’s going on now. I don’t like going to the dr and they don’t explain anything. Makes me feel like I’m not even part of the healing and it’s my body they’re making money off of. You explain things very well! When I went to dr after falling on shoulder yesterday I literally sat for 2hrs waiting to be seen. He finally sows up in room moves my arm til I’m ready to scream but says nothing as to his opinion. Just shoots me full of cortisone and he’s out of there. No further instructions except 5 weeks come back! Very rude. I so much wanted to tell him I’ll show up on time if you do??!!

This was SO super helpful! Thank you! I find that the older I get (early 50s), the more some joints begin to creak or give me some issue. I am a follower! PS: I assume she is your wife; it not, she should be! Your chemistry is cute together. : )

Thanks, it seems like the AC joint test somewhat hit on my issue but another position that bothers me the most is if I bring my right elbow above my head with my right hand on my left shoulder and then I grab my right elbow with my left hand and rotate my upper arm in the shoulder socket towards the front of the body - this causes me the most discomfort. All of this is on a lower discomfort level but I worry when ever I start to have any irritation. Years ago I separated my shoulder - I wonder if this could be part of the issue? I would be beyond thankful for any information but am grateful that you take the time to produce such an informative video - I seem to not really have major issues with any of the tests yet the ac one and the one following it tend to reproduce the most discomfort - also push-ups are starting to bug me a little and I have been using the form suggested in becoming a supple leopard for a few years now - thanks again! I love this stuff and just subscribed!

exercise for shulder instability

I’ve watched a lot of videos trying to figure out what’s wrong with my shoulder. I’ve gone to a chiropractor too! Your video was so informative. I did all of the tests and just as I suspected, my problem likely pertains to my rotator cuff. 😢 However, it also looks like I have an issue with instability as well. I guess that makes sense though since I’ve been dealing with this for quite awhile so there’s probably some atrophy going on. Grrr.

I am sorry to hear about your pain, Christal Alley. I hope this video provides some answers and relieves the pain for you.
