There is no muscle damage but wasting

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX ji.
there is no muscle damage. It is just wasting. So as soon as pain will decrease and you will use your shoulder your muscle strength will improve. Also you need to continue physiotherapy.

Thanks for clarification doctor , in physiotherapy they told me that some exercises are for relaxing muscle and some for gaining strength. so I think it is same logic as you told , medicine for relaxing and use of muscle for strength .
