- Shoulder pain typically comes from the joint itself or from any of the surrounding muscles, ligaments or tendons. (aarp.org)
Ligaments2
- But studies showed that while immobilization helped alleviate the pain of such injuries, it also contributed to a general weakening of the ligaments and predominance of "adhesive capsulitis," where the arm is frozen (frozen shoulder) and can no longer be lifted. (jointrehab.com)
