>Up to a third of people worldwide have shoulder pain; it’s one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. But medical imaging might not reveal the problem—in fact, it could even cloud it. In a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine this week, 99 percent of adults over 40 were found to have at least one abnormality in a rotator cuff on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The rotator cuff is the group of muscles and tendons in a shoulder joint that keeps the upper arm bone securely in the shoulder socket—and is often blamed for pain and other symptoms. The trouble is, the vast majority of people in the study had no shoulder problems.

100% of people over 40 carried things on their shoulder, notebook bags likely, but gym bags, women with purses. Younger kids never needed to carry a laptop. They just mobile or iPad it.

So this makes sense

That is a interesting point.

You are forgetting those of us that have done heavy lifting and manual labor too. Hauling something that weighs well over 100 lbs on one shoulder while walking up/down stairs will do some shit to you.

I thought of that. My point was like %20 do mans work. But with all the ones carrying bags, that’s what make it likely yeah shoulders are fucked.
