The shoulder is one of the most flexible joints in the body, which also makes it easy to injure. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder in place and help you lift and rotate your arm. When these tissues are strained, torn, or irritated, the shoulder can become painful and hard to move.
Common signs include a dull ache deep in the shoulder, pain when lifting your arm or reaching overhead, weakness, and trouble sleeping on that side. Some people hear or feel a catching sensation when they move.
