Lot Of Pain In Upper Arm While Twisting In Certain Positions
I have a lot of pain in my upper arm (right), especially when I twist my arm in a couple of positions. It is also very painful in my shoulder when I stretch my arm out too far - fairly debillitating actually. I did see an orthopedist who gave me a cortisone shot in my right shoulder but it has had virtually zero effect.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain in the upper arm could be due to tendonitis of the shoulder or a rotator cuff injury. An MRI scan of the area will help in the proper diagnosis. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
