Shoulder pain
I have been experiencing pain in my shoulder for the last 2 weeks. The pain is severe when I rotate my shoulder and I am not able put pressure on my hand as that in turn increases the pain. It is now spreading towards my neck and upper arm. Please advise. It's getting worse day by day. I have a tendency to sleep on my shoulder. Could this be the reason?
