Hello Dr. Samuel, I have a peculiar problem on my left upper arm. I am unable to make movements to some extreme positions like folding the arm and resting it behind my head while sleeping, folding the arm and reaching the upper portion of my back, sudden movement of the arm, etc. I get severe pain during these movements and if I persist then slowly the pain subsides. This is only on my left hand. My right hand is perfect. Can you explain to me what the problem could be? Is this muscle related or neuro surgical.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think you are having frozen shoulder. Because of this you are not having to move your shoulder. I would recommend you to get ultrasound of the shoulder.  If there is frozen shoulder then you will need physiotherapy. If your movements improve than it is ok. if still there is no movement achieve then you need arthroscopic adhesiolysis. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
