What could be causing my right arm to be so painful and stiff that I cannot lift it past shoulder level, move it across my body, or sleep at night because the pain gets worse?
Your symptoms, particularly the limited movement and nighttime pain, are quite characteristic of a condition called adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as 'frozen shoulder,' or possibly a rotator cuff issue. These conditions are very common and highly treatable. For temporary relief, warm compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help. Please consult a healthcare professional or a physical therapist for an accurate diagnosis and a personalized recovery plan.
