How Can Stiffness In The Shoulders Be Treated?
I have a physical job that does a lot of repetitive movements. Over time my shoulders become stiff and hurt and this can go down my arm. I wake up and my arms are asleep and hurt. Sometimes one arm or sometimes both. What could this be? And how can I fix this. Thanks Jennifer

hello there,
your symptoms seem to be due to calcium , choelcalciferol , vitamin deficiency or due to decrease blood circulation or osteo-neurodegenerative process.
supplements of calcium,cholecalciferol, vitamins and warm application would be of help.
for pain you can try tablet ibugesic.
shoulder and neck exercises in morning would be great.
consulting a physiotherapist with X ray of your bilateral shoulders and cervical spine , along with serum uric acid, blood sugar would be of great help.
hope it helps.
have a good day.
