Need medical advice for severe arm and shoulder pain after lifting?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Muscle spasm: 40's male with "severe arm and shoulder pain" after lifting wants medical advice. Solution to this problem requires a hands-on evaluation by a knowledgeable and skilled doctor. Avoid orthopedists ; neurologists who, in my opinion, are not skilled diagnosticians of soft tissue injuries. See an osteopath or physiatrist. Until then use rest and heat. Be prepared that MRI will be non-diagnostic.

See an orthopedist: If you have severe shoulder and arm pain with weakness and loss of motion, consider seeing an orthopedist to evaluate your rotator cuff.
