i have had surgery on my rotator cuff because of natural wear. i had a problem that if i raised and then lowered my arm. the shoulder hurt when i lowered my arm. it turned out to be shoulder rotator cartilage problem. the pain disappeared after a few moments after i lowered my arm.
what causes pain when you lower your arm after raising it? . i injured my arm lifting a box of books. had an xray which showed only some arthritis. have had some problem with pain in my shoulder when sleeping on it in the past. it is my right shoulder.
