General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You have frozen shoulder & stiffness radiating to collar bone. Now you have raised ESR & pain in the jaw & sore painful foot.

You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP to detect your active & passive range of movement. He may tell yu to get CT, MRI done to study minute details.

Get Blood tests & Urinalysis done to detect any rheumatod disease (OA & RA), you will be treated accordingly.

Massage is effective. Exercise under a physiotheraist will help to get relieve.

You can take NSAIDS for relieve. Corticosteroid therapy helps to reduce inflammation.

Raised ESR is indicative of inflammation but when ESR shows very high levels it may be indicative of some developing malignancy.

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

Take care

Regards,
