Hi, seems your mother may suffer from PA shoulder. Please take her to a Physiotherapist, if not pain and movements of shoulder will be limited. Take care

Did she ever injure her hand? When you say she can’t lift her hand do you mean at the shoulder? It could be a case of frozen shoulder. It would be best if you saw a physiotherapist close to your house.
