[|Human|] I have been having pain and problems stretching my right arm above my head and reaching behind the back. It does not straighten out when I put it over my head, could this be from my shoulder or just my arm. Prior to this I had carpel tunnel, which went away, then I did a lot of reaching to paint and stain my deck. I am 62 years old.
[|AI|]  Hello, Have you diabetes or met an accident before? Have you numbness or tingling sensation whole arm?actually it seems to me that there may be recurrent carpel tunnel syn Chat Doctor. So It's must rule out the cause, but you can take physiotherapy for pain management and to restore the range of motion. Do isometric shoulder and elbow exercises. Take medicines as ibuprofen and naproxen. You can apply hot or cold therapy for 20 mins every 4 hrs. Rest your hand don't over strain it if there is arthritis on shoulder or elbow you can take steroid injection. If you don't get relief then consult the or tho or get X-ray of shoulder or elbow to rule out the exact cause.
