Brief Answer:
Require an x-ray and MRI scan for suspected rotator cuff impingement.

Detailed Answer:
Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.

I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.

Based on what you, I suspect impingement of rotator cuff tendon and bursa called shoulder impingement syndrome. It usually occurs when you are repetitively lifting arms for any activity. Due to this, you are having difficulty to lift the arm and pain.

You should consult a nearby orthopedician. If I were your treating physician, I would first order an x-ray shoulder to rule out any bony spur. An MRI scan may also be needed to see the rotator cuff injury and signs of inflammation. A following treatment plan will take its course:

•     You may take tab. naproxen 20mg once a day after meal for your pain.
•     Give rest to your shoulder and avoid overhead activities.
•     Physiotherapy may also be needed in your case to improve shoulder movements.
•     If above remedies fail, a steroid shot may be advised by orthopedician and is very effective.

Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.

Regards!
Dr. Ali Raza
