Shoulder impingement syndrome is pain and often weakness when you raise your arm, caused by a muscle tendon “catching” in your shoulder. Shoulder impingement surgery widens the subacromial space in your shoulder, so the rotator cuff tendon is no longer rubbing against the bone above. This is known as subacromial decompression.
