How Can Chest And Arm Pain With Diminished Arm Strength Be Treated?

I am having pain in my right upper chest region. The pain continues under my arm and in my upper arm and shoulder. At times my ability to lift is diminished as is my arm strength. I noticed the motion to open a door is painful. I wake up at night from the shoulder pain. Any suggestions?

You must consult orthopedic doctor.probably you have shoulder periarthritis.The remedy is anti-inflammatory analgesic available (,ibuprofen,or diclofenac and paracetamol).to be taken twice daily. do hot fomentation, apply sling to arm after few gentle shoulder exercises especially lifting arm sideways as far it would go easily, and rotation of arm outwards and inwards,and hanging the arm relaxedly and making circular motion in line of gravity both clockwise and anti-clockwise.get xray taken for chest and shoulder.
