Try scratching the ban with effected arm see if it gives any pain sensation and try the same with a heavy draw opening and closing.
It did sound like a nerve or nerve root lesion (c5) but without tingling or numbness it would be rare.
Thanks for the reply,there is some pain when trying to scratch the back under the front of the shoulder with the effected arm. I've got an appointment with the physio today, so shall see what he says.
