Suggest Treatment For Pain And Stiffness In Arm

Typing work not a cause for shoulder arthritis
Detailed Answer:
hi
The findings of MRI show arthritic changes in and around shoulder joint which is manageable and treatable with steroid injections local infilteration, anti-inflammatory pain medicines and physical therapy, pendular and abduction, rotation exercises of shoulder.The pain will subside and typing work generally requires very little of shoulder function but elbow and forearms movements do transmit to shoulder , especially forward slight movement at shoulder and some internal rotation.Typing work, in my opinion may not be a cause for shoulder arthritis.
It is because we do not do shoulder and arm exercises routinely apart from while dressing or lifting during mild daily chores and activities, the shoulder joint depends more on its muscles intactness then on its own function seperately and it is healthier to do shoulder work ups daily to maintain integrity of this joint , in particular.
Anyway, if subjectively you find any related cause, you may discuss with your attending orthopedic surgeon , who after ,examining the shoulder completely may give a final opinion based on physical objective findings

shoulder arthritis almost freezes most of rotatory and lifting movements,pa
Detailed Answer:
hi
thank you for the query.
Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is self remitting. You need a physiotherapist also who would make all possible shoulder movement with the guiding exercise regime for shoulder arthritis,The exercises will gradually release the joint, if you dont, it will further deteriorate since adhesions will form more in the joint, which have to be broken with exercises and also build up shoulder muscle strength, which has most important role for shoulder functioning.
yes, it may take some more time for remission and repeat of cortisone infilteration, anti-inflammatory medicines are required, besides physiotherapy.
pain away from shoulder is due to ac joint (collar bone end forming joint with the shoulder blade) ths is restricting your side way liftin of arm. Adhesive capsulitis restricts both roations (internal rotation taking arm across chest and external rotation rotating arm to the back of chest).Lack of exercise wastes the muscle and its power and further restriction occurs So cause is both adhesive capsulitis, AC joint arthritis,and inflammation of bursa(bursitis) and soft tissues out side of joint also.
Arthritis of shoulder causes almost freezing joint,restricting many movements that is why stress is on excercises instead of resting it, as rest further freezes it and vicious cycle is formed
Best wishes,
