Hi
Thanks for posting the query
According to the history given by you because of lifting the weight, you have got muscle catch, that is muscle strain.Because of that itself you are not able to rotate your arm.For pain you can take pain killers like Tab Ibubrofen /Diclofenac.If pain is severe you van take muscle relaxant tablets like Tab Ultracet /Tab Hifenac MR once or twice daily depending on the pain.As it is prescribed drug you may need to meet local doctor for the same.
Do hot fermentation to the affected arm 2 to 3 times a day
Use volini spray or any analgesic spray to the affected arm.
Keep that arm in rest.
If still pain persists you have to meet Orthopedic surgeon , he may ask you to get X ray of the arm after clinical examination.
If you have any doubt, you are welcome.
Take care
