What Causes Pain In Shoulder Joint And Numbness In Right Arm?

Question: Hi, im a 49 year old white male. I have pain in my right shoulder joint, numbness in my right arm and fingers. Shoulder hurts worse if i lay on it
Brief Answer:
Could be due to rotator cuff syndrome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Pain in your shoulder joint could be due to rotator cuff syndrome. Having numbness in arm and fingers could be due to nerve compression- these two may or may not be related.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician nearby for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
