Hey

I think it's a mix - I had explained to me by my consultant that the movement part of my brain is now covered in pain signals so that when my brain goes "move your arm" it instead goes OW OW OW and doesn't move -which is why visualisation of the movement before carrying it out can help. Also there is a link with proprioception - i don't know where my limbs are and so I can't tell how to move them.

also pain stops movement as does anxiety and fear of pain
