The Causes and Effects of Shoulder Impingement

5 Effects of Shoulder Impingement

Swelling

When shoulder impingement is caused by an injury or overused muscles, the affected area can be irritated or inflamed. This would lead to swelling around your shoulder region. In addition, there might be redness and discomfort. In most cases, these effects tend to subside quickly with rest and proper treatment options. But in case swollen areas do not improve after a few days or weeks, it is important to seek medical attention to look for any possible chronic sources. [6]
