Explanation

Wearing a jacket, especially if it is tight, can sometimes cause shoulder pain. This is because tight clothes can change how your spine and shoulders move.

Why This Happens:

  1. Tight Clothing: Tight jackets can put pressure on the muscles and joints around your shoulders. This can make your muscles work harder and lead to pain.
  2. Spine Movement: According to studies, tight clothes can affect the natural movement of your spine and shoulders, which might cause discomfort or pain.

If you feel shoulder pain when wearing a jacket, you might want to try a looser fit. This can help your shoulders and spine move more freely and comfortably.
