There are various common diagnosis used in patients with shoulder pain. The study aims to find the prevalence of shoulder pain and find out diagnosis patterns in patients with shoulder pain. A questionnaire survey was conducted to find out the prevalence of shoulder pain. Patients who reported shoulder pain were assessed to include them in a diagnostic category. From the 1069 subjects who participated in the study 245 (22.9%) reported shoulder pain. Subacromial pain syndrome was the most common diagnosis followed by adhesive capsulitis. The patients with adhesive capsulitis had higher age as compared to patients with subacromial pain syndrome and myalgia. Adhesive capsulitis and rotator cuff tear was more commonly seen in females. Dominant arm involvement was more associated with subacromial pain syndrome and rotator cuff tear.
