Hey guys!

Maybe not the best place for medical advice but I figured there would be some folks here with experience in joint issues.

Last night my left shoulder was bothering me a little bit but not much.. just a bit sore. I woke up this morning and it is worse and I am wondering what the recommendations are. Here is the best description I can give:

Pain and weakness on abduction (moving my arm away from my body) from 30 degrees to 90 degrees. Once I lift it above my shoulder it is okay and between 0 and 30 degrees from my leg it is okay. I have full range of motion but I find it difficult to bring my arm up to 90 degrees and I sometimes have to try twice. It does not hurt at all when I have my arm at my side.

Any advice/suggestions? It doesn't seem very severe and I would like to avoid going to the doctor if I can. I have some anti-inflammatories and they seem to be helping a bit.

Thanks in advance.
