Shoulder impingement syndrome is a condition of the shoulder that is characterized by feeling of pain and weakness while lifting the arm overhead. A tendon, known as the rotator cuff tendon, attaches the tip of the upper arm to the shoulder. Impingement of the shoulder occurs when this tendon is trapped in the sub acromial space. The sub acromial space is the space near the shoulder joint where the tendon goes through.

Hi lybrate user , Maintaining muscle strength and flexibility can help prevent shoulder dislocations. Once your shoulder is dislocated, physiotherapy may help prevent you from dislocating it in the future. Through restoring your shoulder's range of motion and physical strength, your risk for dislocation decreases.

Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.

It looks like you are anaemic. And also you have to check with your vitamin and calcium, if the bones are weak then automatically the pain gets triggered more as there is less energy during any metabolic activity. Multiple pain in the joints if you still have pain it might due to the following reasons:
1. Anaemia - iron deficiency
2. Uric acid more in the system
3. Vitamin d deficiency leading to bone weakness and brittleness
4. Any other mineral deficiency mainly phosphorous

The best treatment for hamstring injury is to keep ice in the area where you have pain/or where the muscle is injured. You can also do hot water fermentation in the area. You shall keep your legs elevated by using a pillow or 2 pillows. Once the pain is subsided then you shall also go for self stretching of your hamstring muscles.
