My story is a little different. Lifted a bag of corn for my feeder and over the next few weeks had more and more pain in my right shoulder. Couldn't even sleep on that side. Saw my orthopod, had 2 or 3 steroid injections, no relief. MRI neg. Underwent several months of physical therapy without relief. Had shoulder arthroscopy and my orthopod said I had a frozen joint, by manipulation under anesthesia broke up capsular adhesions, scoped me and cleaned up joint. Then I underwent 3 months of intensive PT and that is the cure for this and DO IT. I have almost complete range of motion and the only thing I can't do is scratch my back as high on my right as on my left. The main thing, find a trusted doctor, try physical therapy first unless they say the joint needs immediate surgery, and be prepared to do PT after surgery and do the exercises at home too. I thought the exercises were Mickey Mouse but they worked. Good luck with your evaluation and treatment.
