Hello,

You might be having a condition called frozen shoulder. Treatment for frozen shoulder usually starts with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and application of heat to the affected area, followed by gentle stretching. Ice and medicines (including corticosteroid injections) may also be used to reduce pain and swelling and physical therapy can help increase your range of motion. Kindly consult an orthopedic surgeon who will take x-ray and will diagnose your condition. Till then you can take over-the-counter painkillers and give hot fomentation to the area.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
