[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint the symptoms of shoulder pain along with pain and restrictions in lifting the arm can be due to causes like Rotator Cuff injury, Rotator Cuff Tendinitis, Frozen shoulder, Bursitis etc. I would suggest you to consult an Orthopedic and get a clinical examination done, and he can advise you to get an X-ray, MRI SCAN down along with palpation of muscles and checking for movement and restrictions to rule out the exact cause of problems and treatment can be planned accordingly. The Physician can advise you anti-inflammatory painkiller, muscle relaxants, topical analgesic and muscle relaxant ointment, warm compresses and physiotherapy. In conditions not responding to medical treatment, surgical correction can be advised. You should also avoid lifting heavy weights and also do not exert the hand much. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
