Yes, I have had pain in my shoulder for a number of years and am unable to reach my right hand too far up and not at all behind my back. Now my left shoulder has become painful and I cannot reach too far up but I am still able to reach behind my back although it is painful. I would like to try exercises but do not want to damage my shoulders more.
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As the shoulder pain is limiting you for utilization of its all functions I will advise you to undergo physical therapy. As initial stages taking therapeutic ultrasound therapy will help reduce joint inflammation and TENS therapy for reduce pain. Post which exercise will start by first isometrics for few number of times and days to get the muscle property back. Post with isotonic and ROM exercises will be implemented to get full should function. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
