Health Tip: When a Shoulder Injury Needs Treatment

By Diana Kohnle, HealthDay Reporter

(HealthDay News) -- While shoulder injuries are common, some signal a more serious issue that needs to be addressed by a doctor.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons mentions these warning signs that a doctor needs to treat a shoulder injury:

• Stiffness that prevents you from rotating the shoulder in all directions.


• Feeling as though your shoulder will pop out of its socket or slide around.


• Insufficient strength in the shoulder to allow you to perform daily tasks.
