A member asked:
Is there a reason why i am suddenly finding it hard to raise my arms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Weakness in the shoulders can be due to muscle and tendon problems (like the rotator cuff). It can also come from nerve problems (neck problems, nerve problems outside the spine, viral infections, trauma, degeneration). Some other illnesses can cause weakness. See your primary provider for an evaluation.
