My dad's right arm/shoulder has been in alot of pain lately, and he's losing mobility in it, fast, with no apparent reason. I mean, he's having trouble picking things up, and, it's even getting harder for him to just lift his arm up in general. It seems like he is losing strength in the arm. It's becoming apparent to me that the muscles in his arm seems like they are degenerating just by looking at it. We've tried massaging it, stretching it, resting it, ice, heat packs, but to no avail. I just seems like it's getting worse.
He's in his late 50's and he works in a typical factory job does typical factory things like drive a forklift, carry things here and there, etc.. nothing too strenuous. To my knowledge, he hasn't gotten injured in any way, so, I'm clueless, and the doctor's seem to be as well.
Please help. Any type of advice would be greatly appreciated. I am extremely worried.
Thanks
