Why can't i move my shoulder after having my cast removed?

Stiffness: Did you have a cast on your wrist or elbow for an injury? It is very common to develop concurrent shoulder stiffness while healing from an injury more distally. This is often referred to as hand/shoulder syndrome. A course of gentle stretching should help things immensely. Good luck!
