Hi, I have been having bad shoulder pain for over 4 months now. I can’t put my arm behind my back and the pain is just unbelievable. It’s hard to do very much anymore. I deal with so much pain from Fibromyalgia, but not sure if this could be something else. Thanks for any advice.
It could be frozen shoulder, but not necessarily. 🤷♀️🫠
I hope you’ll keep us posted when you see your doctor.
In the meantime, I hope some ice and heat will bring you some comfort. Wishing you relief! 💛
Thanks so much for the responses. Yes, I can lift my arm straight up and in front of me. It hurts some, but not as bad as when I put my arm behind me. That’s really bad.
Agreed, it’s always a good idea to consult your doctor first.
Doesn’t sound like FMS to me. It’s often a complaint you hear with frozen shoulder, but there are so many potential causes.
Having trouble putting your arm behind is an internal rotation issue, which makes me think posture- it’s often the source.
Can you tell me if your shoulders round forward?
And if you put your back against a wall, do you have trouble lifting your arm up straight up, in front of you?

You should notify your doctor about it, maybe get an an x-ray or some physical therapy.
