I also wanted to confirm if there is a surgery required.
Brief Answer:
She may need arthroscopic subacromial decompression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, if there is no effect of medicines and physiotherapy then she might need arthroscopic surgery. In this some bone is removed through a very small incision. She will be discharged from hospital in a day. It is called arthroscopic subacromial decompression.
