Brief Answer:
Can be a frozen shoulder.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain at the lower back of the left shoulder can be due to a muscle spasm or capsulitis or frozen shoulder. This can be related to mild arthritic changes in the joint also. An MRI scan of the shoulder will help in proper diagnosis. The medications that he is taking will help in reducing the pain but will not help in the long term improvement of the problem. The proper treatment can be decided depending on the MRI scan results.
Physiotherapy can help him in the maintaining the range of movement of the shoulder and tone of the muscles.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
