Brief Answer:
Could be shoulder problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Have you got your blood sugar tested?

It could be a localised problem with the nearby muscles.

Avoid lifting arm above shoulder level or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the affected region. Perform physiotherapy for shoulder strengthening exercises.

Do get an AP and Axial Xrays of the affected shoulder and upload for my review.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu

Brief Answer:
Follow up

Detailed Answer:
That's great. Do update me on how you feel after physiotherapy as I suspect Rotator cuff tendinitis. This should resolve after physiotherapy and lifestyle modification.
