Default Weight of arm too heavy?

Hard to find a title for this thread!

Today, after playing piano for about two hours (standing) my shoulder hurt from just letting my arm hang down. I had to put my arm in a sling to get relief. Problem with that, was that bending my elbow put pressure on the ulnar nerve, which caused problems in my hand.

Anyone else have this problem where the weight of their arm is just too much for the shoulder to handle?
