headache. Sometimes, these can turn chronic.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A Rotator Cuff tear is another reason, why you may feel pain in the above-mentioned areas. For the unversed, a rotator cuff is a group of tendons that joins the humerus and the shoulder blade. Repeated stress and injuries from falls, can lead to tears in the same as well. With age, blood supply often gets reduced and aging tissues do not get replaced that easily. These are the other reasons, why you may have a rotator cuff tear.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Whiplash is another cause of acute discomfort in the neck and shoulders.

It affects most people, who are above 60 years. As you become older, the discs often lose water and become stiff, and this leads to irritation of the lining and the proliferation of bone spurs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>You may feel stiffness and neck pain, as a result of Cervical Spondylitis.
