It is a common cause of shoulder pain due to injury to the muscles between bones in the shoulder area. These conditions may occur alone or in combination and closely related shoulder bursitis and rotator cuff tendinitis. Shoulder impingement can be very painful and can lead to considerable functional weakness with a full thickness rotator cuff tear. Symptoms include:

·         pain that gets worse at night

·         shoulder or arm weakness
