I would remove the handle and escutcheon plate and grab the front of the faucet cartridge with pliers and see if it is hard to turn now. If it is then there must be an issue with the handle being on too tight or it is binding with with the escutcheon plate somehow. If the cartridge is hard to turn after removing the handle etc. I would pull the cartridge out and grease it using heat proof grease (Plumber's grease) and reinstall it. Make not of it's position when you remove it so as to reinstall in the same position. There isn't any reason I can think of other than the above for the faucet to not turn easy.
SOURCE: shower/spout
The valve is installed upside down and needs to be reversed. There is a diverter in the valve that gives the spout priority. When the valve is upside down it gives the shower head priority. Thats why it runs without the diverter being activated. You will need to get in the wall from one side or the other. Cut the valve out and either flip the faucet Or change the direction of the diverter depending on the style of valve.
Good Luck, Phil

hiit sounds as though the diverter valve is sticking in the mid position although you have turned it to the floor spout as you call it!!
Also it sounds as though the seals are possibly leaking causing the plasterboard (drywall) to get we, or possibly a joint may be leaking. Advice access the pip-work valve etc run shower & check with torch (flashlight) to see where its coming from?
Rectification work replace seals/repair leak...replace diverter valve assembly.

Rain head showers are a nice thought, but they come with a bundle of problems. This is common one, though, so fear not.
As long as your regular shower head isn't losing pressure (I'm assuming that you have at least two heads instead of just one rain head) I would recommend carefully removing the head with an adjustable wrench and letting it soak in CLR (calcium lime rust) for at least an hour. Often times minerals in water will build up in the small holes on a shower head and greatly reduce efficiency.
Remember to apply teflon tape to the threads before carefully retightening the shower head to avoid spraying water from the wrong end!

using a pair of vice grips wrapped in a soft towel( to prevent scractching) turn the shower head in a counter clockwise direction to remove it then apply liquid teflon (real-tuf) to the threads on the shower arm and tighten the shower head but dont over tighten it liquid teflon is more effective at sealing leaks than teflon tape and it can be wiped clean
