Thanks for using HCM.It would help if you were examined by a doctor/Orthopaedic surgeon who can examine you and investigate you based on the findings on the physical check up.The possibility of this being secondary to musculoskeletal causes or impingement on the shoulder joint is there.Ruling out cervical spine problems and brachialgia would help rule out any neurological deficit.
