What should I do if it hurts to lift my arm where it meets my shoulder?

If the pain of lifting the hand at the joint of arm and shoulder is caused by trauma to the shoulder joint, it can be treated by rest, oral medication and surgery; if it is caused by frozen shoulder, it can be treated by physiotherapy and functional exercises.
Trauma will cause damage to the muscles, tendons and joint capsule around the shoulder joint, which will cause pain during activities, so it is necessary to pay attention to appropriate rest, reduce upper limb movement and weight bearing; ice can be used to promote cold compresses to reduce the pain by contraction of capillaries; oral anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications such as nimesulide and diclofenac sodium can also be taken for treatment.
If the injury is more serious, causing rotator cuff rupture, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can also be performed.
If the pain is caused by frozen shoulder, it can be strengthened by hot compresses, massage and acupressure on the shoulder to promote blood circulation, promote the absorption of inflammatory substances and improve tissue adhesion. You can also strengthen the shoulder joint function exercise such as doing wall climbing movement, back rubbing movement and so on.
If the symptoms of shoulder joint pain occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to receive regular treatment.
