The shoulder joint is not harder to move, it just moves differently. It is a ball and socket joint, giving it a wider range of movement, but the elbow is a synovial joint, which can only move in one direction. The reason that yo may find it harder to move your shoulder is because the muscles pulling it may be less developed and also it has to pull up an entire arm, not just a forearm.
