Experiencing Acute Pain On The Shoulders
Hello, It could be a frozen shoulder or tendinitis, We have to rule out other possibilities including arthritis. Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated. In severe cases, you might require steroid injection into the shoulder. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
