8Reduced Joint Mobility
Due to the pain and inflammation, people with shoulder impingement might have reduced mobility. Whenever you lift out your arm up to the ear or to one side, it would trigger a painful sensation. Even minor activities like putting on a T-shirt can also be difficult to perform. This would significantly disrupt your daily activities and lives when you cannot move your arms and hands. It is important to take a rest in a necessary period of time until your shoulder impingement improves. If you try to play sports or do physical activities when inflammation still exists, it would worsen your symptoms and take more time to recover. [8]
