shoulder sprain
Stretched arm ligaments
A shoulder sprain is an injury to the ligaments connecting bones in the shoulder joint, caused by stretching or tearing from sudden force or awkward movement.
Unlike a strain, which affects muscles or tendons, a sprain specifically involves ligaments: She got a shoulder sprain from breaking her fall.
Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.
