Since 2-3 months having shoulder pain and weakness in right hand. Severe pain when stretching hand laterally, today noticing swelling and pain in right elbow also.
While getting up in the morning some days feel like the hand is paralyzed.
Taking medicine for hypothyroid and hypertension.
Could this be age related. Do I need to consult a physiotherapist or orthopedic doctor.
