When I move my left arm, my shoulder locks up when I m moving my arm forward and to the right. It pops when it locks up and is very painful. After I get it to move again it want hurt unless it locks up again. I can move it in any direction and it want hurt. But if I stop moving for a few minutes, it locks up again. The pain seems to be getting worse when it locks up. What do you think it is?

Hello,

We have to rule out possible causes like ligament or tendon injuries.

Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
