Pain, tenderness and an inability to move the shoulder joint fully and normally are typical symptoms of impingement syndrome. Often, an injury sets off a circle of inflammation, swelling, more pressure on the tendons and bursa and more pain. Other symptoms include: 1  Pain or weakness when your arm is raised above your head or out away from the side of the body. 2  Catching or grating of the muscles when you rotate or raise your arm. 3  Not being able to sleep on the affected side because of the pain.
