Question
last 6-7 weeks, pain in my right shoulder blade.towards center of my back.cant sleep on my right side, hard to raise my arm, cant do push ups or bench press. don't know how it occurred. one night about the time it started bothering me I awoke from sleep(sleeping on my right, arm under my pillow)my arm dead asleep, I had to pick my arm  up with my left hand?!other than that not sure what I did for the injury.possibly rotator cuff related?any advice for rehab or pain relief would be appreciated.

Answer
Hi, Kenneth.

Doesn't sound like a shoulder blade injury; sounds like pinched nerve in your neck -- if the arm was completely limp.  Also, possibly cut-off circulation during sleep.  Has this occurred more than once?

Not difficult to resolve by means of clinical somatic education.  See somatics.com for more information.
