Pain in the night
If the pain in the shoulder and arm area only occurs at night, unfortunately many clinical pictures can be the cause. Arthrosis, inflammation of the bursa (bursitis), calcified shoulder or inflammation in case of pain at night are possible. This is due to the fact that during the day the weight of the arms pulls the joint space in the shoulder joint apart.
This results in less friction and pressure in the joint. If you are lying in bed at night, the gap in the shoulder joint tends to narrow, which can lead to pain. To counteract the pain at night, an orthopedist should be consulted, who can examine the shoulder specifically for a cause.
