i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. of course it's not possible to diagnose what's going on via a forum like this. it could be your rotator cuff but then again it could also be a problem with a bursa sac in the shoulder arthritis a pinched nerve in your arm or neck tendinitis muscle strain -- quite a few things. the only way to tell for sure what's going on and get appropriate treatment is by having a physical exam. even though you don't have insurance you may be able to find affordable care at a free or low-cost health clinic in your area. some clinics charge a fee based on a sliding scale. others (such as healthcare for the homeless) are entirely free. you might be able to find these clinics by searching on the internet. you might also want to see if you qualify for medicaid coverage (if you're in the u. s. ). i wish i could tell you how to treat your problem but without a diagnosis it's just not possible. some of the conditions i listed above may resolve with rest while others require medication or as a last resort surgery. i wish you all the best!
