Shoulder pain restricted movement

Hi Everyone,

I have rrms.

I have had a problem with my left shoulder for quite a few months. I cant comb my hair or put my arm up straight, put my arm in cloathes it causes to much pain. It is like my arm wont move any further, like tge shoulder is stiff. I went for a ultrasound today, and was told it should have been a urgent referral. Also was asked if i had, a accident. The man doing the scan could see i was in pain, as he moved my arm about. He said he couldnt see anything on the ultrasound, but was sending a report today, and suggesting a mri. I am just quite worried, as i dont know why it should have been a urgent referral in the first place. As i believe the doctor thought it might be rotator cuff. Is this a urgent referral? As nothing showed up. Just worried, what this could be ? It started when i was leaning on my left side watching tv.

Any advise please ?

Although I am no expert, I would say that if the problem is still causing a lot of pain, especially after a few months, then it needs urgent investigation. I hope you get some relief soon.
