Shoulder arthritis means the smooth covering on the joint wears away. Instability means the ball slips out of the socket too easily. A labral tear is a rip in the ring of cartilage that helps hold the shoulder together.
Symptoms may vary depending on the location and severity of the condition:
Discomfort that interferes with sleep.
Painful grinding or catching inside the joint.
Feeling the shoulder slips out of place.
Pain with overhead or behind-the-back movements.
