The shoulder can be affected by many different types of arthritis. Some of the more common include osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), chondrolysis, post-arthroscopic glenohumeral chondrolysis, cuff tear arthropathy,  capsulorrhaphy arthropathy,  rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis),  psoriatic arthritis,  lupus,  infectious (septic) arthritis, Paget's disease,  gout, ankylosing spondylitis,  crystal deposition disease, Reiter's,  lyme disease,  Ehlers Danlos,  fibromyalgia,  juvenile arthritis, and Sjogren's. Some useful general information can be found on our living with arthritis page.
