    Hello Rach2603, 

    Welcome to our forum. It's good the doctors have been very thorough and referred you for an appointment. As this is a new symptom, it might be worth giving your doctor a call and mentioning that it hurts when you try and lift your arm up. Make sure you mention this too when you go to the hospital for your appointment. 

    I hope you find out more very soon and best of luck with your appointment! 

    Best wishes,
