Hi,
It seems your husband is having frozen shoulder.MRI shoulder joint will help it to distinguish from other causes of painful shoulder like arthritis or rotator cuff tear. Apart from analgesic, intra-articular corticosteroid injection in the shoulder joint will decrease pain. Local heat pad application also gives temporary relief from pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
