Rotator cuff injuries (tears, tendinitis, or impingement)
Shoulder bursitis or inflammation of the joint capsule
Arthritis or osteoarthritis
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Shoulder instability or dislocation
Nerve compression or referred pain from the neck or upper back
Poor posture or repetitive strain from work or sports

Clicking, catching, or instability in the joint
