Your arm is kept in your shoulder socket by your rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is a network of four muscles that come together as tendons to form a covering around the head of the humerus. The rotator cuff attaches the humerus to the shoulder blade and helps to lift and rotate your arm.otator cuff tears are more common in the dominant arm. If you have a degenerative tear in one shoulder, there is a greater risk for a rotator cuff tear in the opposite shoulder -- even if you have no pain in that shoulder.

First, growing pains is a misnomer â the pain has nothing to do with growing. Paediatric rheumatologists prefer the term non-specific limb pains of childhood (NSLPC) â clumsy but more accurate. Also, teenagers don't get growing pains; they only occur in three- to 12-year-olds. NSLPC is a common condition, with up to 37% of children between the ages of four and six troubled by it. NSLPC has typical symptoms; in two-thirds of children the pain is in the shin, calves, thighs or back of the knee and does not involve any joints. It occurs on both sides, starts in the late evening and quite often will wake the child because it can be quite intense. The pain can last from minutes to hours and can occur regularly for a few years.
