Common cause
Shoulder states Common cause as Rotator cuff overload, impingement, instability. The shoulder trades stability for the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body, relying heavily on the rotator cuff muscles rather than bone to stay centered. Read that sentence before you treat a score as the whole story.
Typical recovery
A second check is Typical recovery: 6–12 weeks for tendinopathy. Two figures that do not measure the same thing should not be collapsed into one winner.
What to open
