Shooting Pain in the arm when raising shoulder is a sign of Rotator Cuff Syndrome
Using your shoulders in repetitive motions, especially when raising hands continuously while painting walls, wiping windows, hanging clothes, cutting tree branches, and carrying or lifting heavy objects or sports players who are involved in activities that require frequent arm raising motions, such as basketball, badminton and swimming are all at risk of having rotator cuff tendinitis. Injuries that affect the rotator cuff can cause the condition to develop as well.
