Injury causes pain when arm is lifted with forearm horizontal

[physiobob]

Hi George, it seems like it could be a muscular issue but then I would not rule out the joints such as the AC joint and neck as well. You really need to drop into a sports physio clinic and show them how the injury occurred and get them to make a manual assessment. Perhaps this could be assisted with an ultrasound scan or MRI but an assessment and some rehab advice following would be a worth while first investment. Unfortunately the Dr is not the one for this type of assessment.

Thanks for the advice Bob, I'll get this arranged through my doctor.

Here in England I am sure I'll have to wait a month or 2 for this appointment, any idea of any exercises which could help in the meantime? The pain isn't severe when it happens so I should be capable of any strengthening exercises you could suggest.

Thanks again!
