What Causes Weakness In Arm And Pain In Shoulder?
For the past month, I have been experiencing weekness in my right arm, I have some pain in my right shoulder. The pain is similar to muscle strain which is what I thought it was although I couldn t remember doing anything that strenuous to my shoulder. I am right handed but now my left arm is stronger. For instance. I cannot lift a gallon of milk without effort with my right arm.

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a pinched nerve. For this reason, I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing nerve conduction studies and a cervical spine X-ray study. Do a physical exam and some blood lab tests.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
