Hey George,
My dad (80YO) had the same problem, couldn't lift his
arms above shoulder level for a couple of years. Then
he went to a physical therapist (for therapy after his
various heart ailments that had kept him way down).
I don't know what the therapist did, but it restored
considerable range of motion to his shoulders - he
combed his hair for the first time in two years!
Just something you might want to check out.
Harry
