Frequently Asked Questions

What is arthritis of the shoulder?
Arthritis is a word for damage to the cartilage which is present in every joint in the body. Cartilage is the white tissue which is on the surface of the bones in the joints which makes the surface soft. The cartilage covers the surface of the bone similar to Teflon on a ball bearing. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint and the cartilage in the shoulder covers the ball of the humerus (called the humeral head) and also the socket (called the glenoid). The cartilage is a living tissue which is about two to three millimeters thick (the thickness of one or two or layers of cardboard).
How do I know if I have arthritis?
The major sign of arthritis is pain in the shoulder joint area. Sometimes this pain is present in the front, side or back of the shoulder. Some people have pain even when they are not using their arm, and some people have pain only with use of the arm. Arthritis pain can occur at night or in the morning, and it can be present with or without a sense of shoulder stiffness. Often the pain is worse with lifting or carrying heavy objects or after exercise.
What is the prognosis for my shoulder if I have arthritis?
It is impossible to determine how fast the arthritis in any shoulder joint will get worse as every person’s shoulder joint has different degrees of damage to the cartilage. Typically activities that produce pain mean that the cartilage is seeing stress during those activities, and that the joint is not happy. Generally, the more painful an activity, the more likely that activity is damaging the cartilage and the shoulder joint further.
