Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it will be very difficult to me to give you a diagnosis based on this .But still we can discuss the probabailities.
First Vitamin D levels , Vitamin B 12 levels should be done as there deficiency can present like this . Since you are getting heaviness of muscle calcium levels should be done . There also exist a possibility of supraspinatus tendinitis and frozen shoulder initiation . Get your RBS , CPK and thyroid levels checked also.
A USG of shoulder joint will be highly useful in finding the etiology . An X ray of cervical spine is important to see for any evidence of cervical spondylosis .
But first of all see a physician as examination will be the most important thing to do as after that only we will be able to establish the pattern of muscle involvement if any .
Take care.
