I just want to mention that the pain is a bit below the shoulder, in the upper arm I wonder if this makes a difference
Brief Answer:
It makes no difference.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,XXXX .
Welcome back,
After going through your query and follow up query I want to say that it does not make any difference.But it points more towards tendinitis (long head of biceps) or muscle strain of deltoids muscle. Discussion and treatment remains the same.
