Question

Ray works a physical job and notes pain when he attempts to lift his arm over his head. When you move the shoulder passively, he has full range of motion without pain and there is no gross swelling or tenderness. What type of joint disease does this most likely represent?

Answer 1

Non-Articular

Step-by-step explanation:

Many muscle and joint pain is caused from doing physical work, but when not under physical strain, there is no pain. The majority of cases like this is not serious, however a doctor should be consulted if this pain persists.

If there is swelling and tenderness, that can be a sign of arthritis, specifically in the hands and/or feet. However, it can be present in any joint in the body.
