The worst part about getting older is the little aches and pains. I have decreased range of motion in both shoulders because of rotator cuff problems.
Is your pain actually in the muscle or in the joint? It could be both since your muscles will spasm in response to joint problems. When mine act up my whole arm starts to hurt. Of course, if I overuse my shoulders (biking or play lots of shows) they scream for a day or two afterward.
I have been taking glucosamine for a few years now and it seems to help. However, there's really no "definitive" proof that it really does ... so it may just be placebo effect.
