I cannot put my left arm behind my back and rest my arm in the small of my back with out extreme pain and losing some sensation simutaneously. I cannot raise my left art directly parallel while unfolded above my head without extreme pain and partial loss of sensation.

This condition has only been around for about 2 months, and does not seem to be improving. I wake up in the night sometimes in pain because i've moved my arm in some way to aggravate it.

The pain seem to be close to my shoulder. The pain is not in my back.

I went to the doctor a month ago, and she felt it was muscular and would heal if i'm easy on it. It's getting to me. Pain medications do not affect the pain when I move it into a painful position. I'm also noting some sensations of "popping" in the shoulder joint, and sometimes the range of movement is more limited than other times.
