Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 38 year old man. normally fit and healthy. I have recently had a cold which lasted a week. I woke 48 hours ago with severe pain in my shoulder and weakness of the muscles in my arm which is getting worse. I am struggling to use my arm. What could it be?
Since when you're suffering from? Probably your suffering from viral myalgia. Use tablet paracetamol 650 mg thrice a day. Take rest and drink plenty of hot water and liquids. If symptoms don't improve, please consult a physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
