Hello,
Pain in shoulder aggravating at night time is mostly due to nerve compression or fluid accumulation in the joint. I would suggest you to follow these steps.
1.Avoid using very high pillow.
2.avoid very cool temperature or air conditioner.
3. Hot water fomentation is useful.
4. brugel local application.
5.Tablet pregabalin M at night time is also beneficial.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. steroid injection is last resort for this.
thanks
