Shoulder and elbow pain are extremely common conditions. 

You use your shoulders and arms for many activities each day. Shoulder and elbow pain can cause significant problems and have several different causes.

Arthritis is a major cause of shoulder pain. As arthritis develops, the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones in a joint can wear away. Without the protective cartilage lining, painful bone on bone rubbing results. Severe shoulder arthritis is quite painful and can limit motion. Trauma, injury, strains, and fractures are causes for shoulder and elbow pain.
