Common causes of shoulder pain
Bursitis/impingement

•The acromial spur can cause impingement on the bursa and tendons.
Biceps tendonitis/ inflammation
•Biceps tendonitis is a condition that affects the area where the biceps muscle meets the front of the shoulder. It usually develops as a result of rotator cuff tendonitis.
Rotator cuff tears

•Tears at its point of insertion into the humeral head can be described as either partial or complete thickness tears of the tendon with complete tear usually requiring surgery.
