Severe Shoulder Swelling And Pain, Feeling Of Ball Inside. How Can I Fix This?

Hi, my shoulder swells and hurts to the point I cannot move it. I attended physical therapy and she said I need to excersize it daily and it will take long but eventually will go away. Until she began pressing pressure points and saying she could not get to them. I put ice packs, heat packs, get massaged and nothing stops it from hurting various times a day. It feels like a ball is inside.

Hi...you need to get an xray and consult an orthopedic for proper diagnosis and management...massaging or exercising an inflamed joint can be harmful...dont do that...
