Hands pain while moving
Doctor, yesterday evening I suddenly felt pain in my left shoulder while moving my hand. The pain has continued till now. It only hurts when I move my hand, not when I’m at rest. For example, when I change gears in the car or move my hand in certain directions, it hurts. Otherwise, there’s no pain, but I feel a slight heaviness in that area. Even after waking up this morning, it hasn’t gone away. Now, I also feel a slight pain in my right side when I move my hand.

Was the onset sudden? Were you lifting something heavy? For the time being give rest to the affected shoulder, avoid overhead activities or any activity which increases the pain...can take any painkiller along with local application of ice fomentation and gel. It should settle, but if no improvement in a week then visit an orthopaedic surgeon to get evaluated.
Next Steps
Rest, ice pack, avoid painful activity, use painkiller
