I m a 72-year-old woman with arthritis. Sometimes, when I move my left arm sharply, I get a terrific pain in my shoulder. I raise my arm and rotate it around and out and around, and the pain usually goes right away. Could it be arthritis, or could it be a rotator cuff problem? Thank you.
Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. I read your question and understood your concern. I think this is arthritis of the shoulder joint. You may need some injection in the joint with cortisone and lidocaine. I wish you quick recovery.
