What causes left shoulder pain in women?

In recent years, people's work and rest time in society has quietly changed. In previous years, I liked taking walks and playing, but now I sit more often in front of the computer desk, or lie on the bed or sofa with my mobile phone in hand. After a long time, I always feel back pain. I have a lot of problems with my shoulders and back. For women, shoulder pain may be caused by more than just improper sitting posture. Shoulder pain occurs more frequently in women than in men. Whether women experience pain in the left or right shoulder, they should consider the following issues.

Shoulder pain and limited mobility are mostly caused by periarthritis of the shoulder due to long-term fatigue and blood stasis. You can take Chinese patent medicines such as Qunbi Kangsheng Pills, Huli Powder, and Xuelian Capsules that can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dispel wind, cold and dampness, and relieve pain, and combine them with external application of plasters, acupuncture, physical therapy and other methods for comprehensive treatment. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping warm, reduce the activity of the affected limb, perform appropriate functional exercises, and avoid strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue.

Shoulder pain may be caused by shoulder arthritis, which leads to symptoms of joint pain and discomfort. Joint pain refers to an uncomfortable feeling in the joint area, which can be described as tingling, dull pain, knife pain, throbbing pain, burning sensation, etc. The degree of pain varies. Because this type of joint pain is not joint "inflammation", antibiotics are not needed for treatment, and hormonal drugs are even more unnecessary. It is recommended that patients can use some Chinese medicines that can relax muscles and tendons, remove blood stasis and relieve pain, and reduce inflammation and analgesia. They can take some medicines with ginseng, astragalus, angelica and other Chinese medicines that can strengthen the body and eliminate evil as raw materials. They can play the role of unblocking blood vessels, dredging meridians, removing wind and dampness, and relieving joint pain to a certain extent. Cervical spondylosis The cervical vertebra is prone to degenerative diseases such as hyperplasia, and compression of the cervical nerves can cause shoulder pain, but it is often accompanied by neck discomfort and symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo. The nature, location, time and range of pain in shoulder periarthritis and cervical spondylosis are different. Shoulder periarthritis causes limited shoulder joint movement, while most patients with cervical spondylosis do not have obvious limitation of shoulder joint movement, especially passive movement is generally not limited. Cervical spondylosis causes radiating pain in the upper limbs, paresthesias and movement disorders in the upper limbs and hands, whereas frozen shoulder does not have such symptoms.

If you experience pain in your left shoulder, it may be caused by cold. Especially in the summer, frequent use of air conditioners and fans can cause changes in joint pressure, causing spasms in the muscles around the joint capsule and leading to pain. Some mental factors are quite tense, and frequent anxiety can also lead to pain all over the body, including pain in the left shoulder. Some heart disease patients may also experience reflex pain in the left shoulder. If there is trauma, long-term local compression will cause aseptic inflammation, causing pain in the left shoulder.

There is an even more terrifying reason. Significant pain in the left shoulder can sometimes be caused by a heart condition. The sensory nerves for shoulder pain and heart pain enter very closely at the posterior horn of the spinal cord. Therefore, what was actually a serious heart problem was mistakenly diagnosed as common shoulder pain, which delayed the discovery and caused serious consequences.
