A result of natural wear and tear, shoulder arthritis is a serious ailment for many people. While aging is the common cause of this condition, this form of arthritis can also occur due to infection and untreated rotator cuff injuries. As cartilage becomes damaged and diminishes in the shoulder over time, bone spurs are gradually formed. These spurs lead to stiff shoulder movement and can be incredibly painful. Although surgery may be needed in some cases of shoulder arthritis, this condition is often treated through the use of cortisone injections, anti-inflammatory medicine, and braces.
