Severe shoulder pain with difficulty lifting your arm may be due to conditions like Frozen Shoulder, Rotator Cuff Injury, or muscle inflammation. It is best to consult an orthopaedic doctor for proper evaluation. Treatment may include pain-relief medicines, physiotherapy, shoulder exercises, and sometimes imaging tests like an X-ray or MRI to identify the exact cause and guide treatment.
