The shoulder is actually several joints that combine with tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in the arm — from scratching your back to throwing a ball.
Since it is the most flexible joint in the body, a shoulder’s mobility may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement of the soft tissue or bony structures, resulting in pain. A person may feel pain only when the shoulder is moved, or all of the time. The pain may be temporary or it may continue and require the proper medical diagnosis and treatment.
The elbow is a hinge joint made up of bone, cartilage, and ligaments that can twist and enables the rotation of the hand. The biceps and triceps are the two main muscles responsible for bending the elbow. It is a complex joint that connects the two bones of the forearm to the upper arm bone. The elbow is crossed by important nerves and vessels for the function of the upper extremity. All the nerves that travel down the arm pass across the elbow.
