What Causes Numbness And Soreness Of The Arm?

Hi, My right arm has felt lame and slightly sore at the shoulder for over a year now. I can move my arm normally but have to think about it deliberately to do so, and it has less range of motion than normal before feeling stiff at the shoulder. When I reach that point of it feeling stiff the shoulder muscles begin to quiver. Can you offer any opinion? Please and thank you.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you are developing frozen shoulder. In this condition there is pain and stiffness of the shoulder and restricted movements. To confirm the diagnosis I would suggest you to get MRI of the shoulder. If there is any tear in cuff muscles then it can cause frozen shoulder. Also if there is any capsular thickening then it can also cause tight shoulder. In both cases arthroscopy of the shoulder is helpful. During this small procedure we can cut tight band and repair muscles tears.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
