Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Madam, Thank you for posting your query on HCM. Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it could be some ligament injury or it could be starting of rotator cuff tendinitis triggered by some injury . You will need to get a USG shoulder done to look for this. Only after making a proper diagnosis treatment could be suggested . This will also require examination of all movements to see which tendons are affected . I will suggest you to see an orthopeadician or a rheumatologist for this . Take care. Dr. Shruti
