Shoulder Arthritis Symptoms

The symptoms of osteoarthritis of the shoulder are pain and reduced movement in the shoulder. The pain is typically aching in nature and can make it difficult to sleep.

Certain movements may cause a grinding sensation or a catching sensation as the arthritic bone surfaces move against one another. Usually it is difficult to see any swelling in the shoulder joint because so much muscle covers it.
