Shoulder and arm pain, weakness

I am 17, male and I injured my right shoulder about 3-4 months ago by sitting behind a computer. Doctors just told me to rest, but it only got worse and worse. Started with neck and shoulder pain, but then that disappeared and left me only with a weak arm.

About two weeks ago I pulled a heavy object with my left arm and got the same condition on my left shoulder.

Now with both of my arms useless I can only wait for the next doctor's appointment because both my arms hurt after the slightest use. After basic use, even typing this on my phone gives me a tingling sensation in all my fingers and my arms start to feel very heavy, i just want to put them to rest.

I have full range of motion. A basic CT scan showed nothing, now I am waiting for a contrast scan but the waiting line is too long. My physical therapist told me I have weak back shoulder muscles and imbalance in my shoulders. He gave me some exercises, which do not help.

This is getting worse every day and my arms are practically useless. I would really appreciate any help.
