A friend of mine complains of pain in the right arm since 6 months which sometimes radiates downwards to reach the forearm.The pain exacerbates on removing sweaters and raising the hand above the head. on consulting a doctor, he diagnosed it as a muskuloskeletal pain and prescribed a NSAID (Aceclofenac). The patient doesnot seem to be relieved from the treatment provided. what might me other differentials and the treatment?
