Does anyone have difficulty raising their arms above their waist sometimes?Its almosts as of they have no power at all and I struggle to lift anything even a cup of tea. If i push it, it works to a degree but hurts
My doctor says it's just a pulled muscle but that doesn't really add up. It happens too often.

Dear Sallieg,
Yes I have this permanently.
My arms are a lead weight and when I'm putting washing out ohhhh painful, actually like now if I hold my arms to type this message
Ohhh we have lots of different symptoms to contend with eh!
Take care 💝 of yourself ❤️

I would suggest seeing a chiropractor as an alternative diagnostic. Something might need to be freed up before it can heal. Maybe ten minutes teatowel wrapped ice pack followed by a warm heating pad might help as well.
This was one of the very first symptoms I had several years ago Could barely lift the kettle up and had to use both hands .Only on my right side Had physio for a few weeks and it resolved But then had a similar problem with my legs a couple years later again physio at that point helped Now my very cold legs are one of my main problems and painful knees Only diagnosed with fibromyalgia June last year
I can lift above my waist ok, but really struggle to lift above shoulder height and cannot hold arms up.
Rheumatology physio who specialises in fibromyalgia told me years ago that not being able to lift /hold your arms up is a typical sign of fibromyalgia
I’ve just had a cortisone injection for this. I had one last year and it really helped. Suffer from fibro and some arthritis in shoulder.
I have had 2 keyhole surgery on my right shoulder but now it's worse I have no tendons left in it my rotarater cuff is torn again I had nerve block but no difference to it I can't lift it high been given physio but that's just making it worse I use a heat bag on it slot and go sleep with it on my shoulder
