The Causes and Effects of Shoulder Impingement

Stiffness

People with shoulder impingement might feel stiffness around their shoulders or necks. This makes it harder to move or turn these parts around. Many people often describe it as a locking sensation. There can be many causes of a stiff shoulder, ranging from a neck sprain or whiplash to degenerative disc disease and other conditions associated with aging. If you do not feel better in a few days, make sure to seek medical attention to prevent further complications. [10]
