Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem , I would like to tell you that seeing all the reports , it seems that its the degenerative arthritis that is troubling your mother which is the cause of back pain and it would have lead to compression of nerve by protruded discs that is causing pain . For that an x ray whole spine , AP and Lat. needs to be done . An MRI would be more specific but a costly investigation . Diabetes itself would not lead to pain but can speed up the degenerative process . Also for shoulder pain it can be beginning of frozen shoulder which the diabetics are very likely to have . For that a clinical examination and Ultrasound of the affected shoulder joint should be done .
Take care.

Dear Sir,
Yes shoulder pain can also be due to degenerative changes . If its frozen shoulder , then it depends on the extent of involvement , like in early stages it can be cured by physiotherapy or may be a simple cortisone shot along with strict control of diabetes . Surgery is not required generally . Also degenerative changes are age related and cant be cured by diet or exercise . Maintaining healthy weight is important for such arthritis .
