General & Family Physician 's  Response
hello, from what you are describing, it probably looks to me what we call as frozen shoulder. I would suggest you to start pain killers after consulting your orthopedician and you also might to see physiotherapist as they may give you proper stretching exercises for the same and help achieve painless movement of the shoulder. But it might take time period of 1-2 weeks to get good results. I hope I have answered your query satisfactorily.
