自然な表現

1 & 4. Use "My" to refer to something related to or associated with you.
2. "the" is a definite article used when referring to something specific.
3. Use present tenses to indicate habitual actions or actions happening at present.
I am sorry to hear that. When did the pain first start? Did you injure the shoulder ot perhaps pull the muscle?

The pain started before I know it when I was 40 years old. I noticed it clearly when I slept with my left arm down. Whike I was sleeping, sometimes the pain woke me up.

1. Use past tenses when talking about events that occurred in the past.
2. Spelling correction.
Oh, I understand. That seems like a nerve pain if that is the case. Do you lift heavy objects at work or make repeated gestures with your hand?

No I don't. I can't think of anything like you said. Do this pain due to age? I heard that many people of the same age are suffering from it.

自然な表現

No, I don't. I can't think of anything like what you said. Is this pain due to age? I heard that many people of the same age are suffering from it.

1. Use a comma after an introductory word or phrase.
2. Use "what" to refer to someone's previous statement.
3. This is a clearer way of starting the sentence.
The pain is not age-related since you are a young person., This could be nerve pain due to sitting or sleeping in uncomfortable positions. I recommend a nerve block and physiotherapy. Do you play any kind of sport or engage in any type of physical activity?

I run and do weight training at a gym twice or three times a week. What kind of physiotherapy am I necessary? It's okay I keep on working out at the gym?

1 & 2. What you're trying to say here is unclear, so rephrase to make the meaning of the sentences clearer.
Oh, it's very good that you are physically active. The shoulder pain can be caused by weight training, so please take a month-long break from the weights and do the prescribed physiotherapy. After that, when you feel the improvement, you can slowly get back to your usual training program.

I see. Thank you. When shoukd I next come?

自然な表現

I see. Thank you. When should I come next?

1. You can say "understand."
2. Spelling correction.
3. Change the word order for a better flow of the sentence.
