Varies: What you are describing is likely related to a lack of full motion in your shoulder. . The most common two causes of this in your age group are a condition involving the rotator cuff muscles known as impingement syndrome, or an arthritic condition of the shoulder joint itself. Don’t hesitate to see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
