Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
It looks from your description, that you may be having some issues in the Rotator cuff of the shoulder.
As the conservative management (medicines, physiotherapy and ultrasound) is not providing symtom relief, I suggest you to undergo an MRI scan of the shoulder to rule out any soft tissue problem.
The management depends on the diagnosed condition.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
