What Causes Stiffness In The Shoulder Radiating To The Forearm?
HI, I have a stiffness radiating from my right shoulder down to the middle of my forearm. I am unable to fully extend my arm above my head and it aches. I have sat in a massage chair for 2 minutes and was relieved from pain for 30 minutes. What is my problem?
You are having muscle stiffness and pain due to musculoskeletal pain. It can be from any unaccustomed situation. For that, you are suggested to take an anti-inflammatory drug course for five days.
Hot compress can be beneficial. Avoid pressure on that area. You have to avoid strenuous activities. If no improvement then consults an orthopaedic surgeon for an examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami,
General & Family Physician
