Separated Shoulder – Symptoms and Causes

Arm or Shoulder Weakness

Shoulder joints and muscles play an important role in your arm’s stability and movement. Therefore, a separated shoulder would cause weakness around this part. Depending on the severity of the injury, the exact symptom can vary. In mild cases, you can still move the shoulder or arm but with discomfort or pain. When a partial or full separation occurs, it is almost impossible to do this. It might take a few weeks or even months to restore the shoulder mobility once you get the right treatment.[2]
