[|Human|] Yes;thanks slowly having increasingly bad pain in right upper arm. In resting position it doesn t hurt but to raise just enough to get a top on hurts. Left wrist on right hand first started hurting ~ went to Dr & got a steroid shot in it & it got better. Now @ that same area my skin is slowly losing color??? But the pain in my upper arm is my main concern.
[|AI|]  Hi. Pain in upper arm when lifting your arm up could be due to impingement in the rotator cuff. These are the tendons of the muscles that attach in the upper arm to lift or rotate the arm. Tests by a doctor can help isolate which one is impinging, and usually a cortisone infiltration in the shoulder can help, plus physio. Discoloration is a worrying problem(left/right??) as that might be due to insufficient blood supply, or possibly side effect of the cortisone. You must have this assessed properly.
