You : You need to have a complete medical evaluation. This could be caused by a joint problem in the shoulder or it could be coming from your spine such as a disc. As you are having weakness it is very important that you have an immediate medical evaluation. You may need imaging studies or a nerve conduction test.

Check the neck: Its important to establish a diagnosis. Hand/arm/shoulder pain could be referred. Common referred sources include: abdomen, heart and neck. Shoulder sources include: arthritis, labral tears, instability, tendinitis, rotator cuff tears, bursitis, painful bony spurs etc. Therefore proper diagnosis is essential to stopping the pain. See an orthopedic surgeon. Good luck!
