There are several risk factors that increase your likelihood of sustaining a rotator cuff injury. Athletes are more likely to experience discomfort in the region of their rotator cuffs.
In addition, the character of desk work increases the likelihood of rotator cuff injury among desk workers. Age is another risk factor associated with rotator cuff tears. If you are at a higher risk for developing a rotator cuff injury, it is essential that you are aware of the warning signs.
If you are experiencing persistent shoulder pain, even if it is not severe enough for you to give it much thought, you should discuss it with your doctor as it could be a sign of a muscle injury and could also indicate that something else is wrong.
