Could Difficulty In Raising Arm Above Shoulder Level Be Related To Bronchitis?

Recovering from acute bronchitis . My left shoulder and bicep have become very painful. Thought I slept wrong about 4 days ago but is not going away. Having some difficulty raising arm above shoulder level without pain. Can these be related to the bronchitis ?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No this can not be related to bronchitis.
Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It causes bronchospasm and cough.
It can not cause musculoskeletal pain or muscle related problems.
So your current symptoms are due to something else, not due to bronchitis.
You might be having these symptoms due to bad postures in sleep.
So take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
