Why cant i lift my arm up without pain?
Since last month, my right shoulder has been giving me trouble. If I try to lift my arm above my head, there's a sharp pain. I haven't had any injury, so I'm wondering why I can't lift my arm without pain now.

This sounds like something you should definitely get checked by a doctor, dear. My grandmother used to say 'take care of small pains before they become big ones.' It could be anything from a muscle strain to something with your shoulder joint. Best to see a specialist.
Could be a rotator cuff issue, or just a really bad muscle pull. Have you been doing any heavy lifting or new exercises? Rest it, apply some ice or heat. But if the pain is sharp or doesn't go away, better see a physio or ortho, don't risk injury.
Oh, I've had my share of aches and pains in my time. This sounds like it could be 'frozen shoulder' or something similar. Don't worry too much, but don't ignore it either. Go to a good orthopaedic doctor; they can pinpoint the problem and give you exercises. Many things can be fixed with time and proper care.
While this sounds like a joint or muscle issue, sometimes generalized aches and pains can be related to other conditions. I have thyroid issues and sometimes feel unexplained stiffness. Get it checked out by an orthopaedic specialist, and if they find nothing, maybe discuss if other tests are needed with your GP.
The body is a temple, dear. It's asking for your attention. While you seek professional help, try to keep a positive mind. Pain is a signal, not a punishment. Take care of your body and it will take care of you.
Persistent pain when lifting your arm isn't normal. It could be due to inflammation, a pinched nerve, or even a tear in the shoulder. Try not to strain it further. If it's not improving with rest and mild pain relief, please see a doctor. They can recommend the right tests.
Such pain often comes from stiffness or imbalance in the shoulder girdle. I would suggest gentle, pain-free movements if possible, but only after consulting a doctor to rule out anything serious. Listen to your body, don't push it. Rest is important too.

Any pain that restricts movement like that needs proper medical evaluation. It's always safer to get it checked by a doctor to know the exact cause rather than guessing. Don't self-diagnose, especially when it comes to joint issues.
For mild aches, I'd say try a hot compress and some gentle stretching. Maybe some ayurvedic oil massage too. But if you can't even lift your arm, that's more than a minor ache. That needs a doctor's visit, no home remedy will fix a structural issue.
Oh my god, that sounds scary! I'd be so worried if I couldn't lift my arm. Are you sure you didn't injure it? Please, please go to a doctor as soon as possible. It could be something simple, but what if it's not? Better to know for sure.
