WHAT IS SHOULDER<br />
ARTHRITIS?<br />
Arthritis is a joint disease that is a common cause of shoulder pain. As the Clavical (Collarbone)<br />
cartilage that surrounds the shoulder joint wears away, the protective lining<br />
between the bones is lost. When this happens, painful bone-on-bone arthritis<br />
develops. Severe shoulder arthritis is quite painful and can restrict motion.<br />
While this may be tolerated with medications and lifestyle adjustments,<br />
surgical treatment may become necessary.<br />
