Rochelle-
As Joy suggests it is the regular case taking again-
Give particular attention to the location, modalities, extensions and sidedness...
Causticum, Rhus, Ruta are very common to come across...
I have used Chel, Sanguinaria, Syphilinum, Strontia carb for this...
Consider Helonias for this associated with diabetes
For the really frozen and fixed shoulder Thiosinaminum can help ( I have not used it - though a friend of mine has prescribed for some cases)
Shoulder paralytic pain, paralyzed feeling, lameness, rheumatism are some of the rubrics...Rubrics around deltoid ( shoulder pain tender to touch and motion - Sang ) are apt...As mentioned above look for specific left and right sided frozen shoulder...and if the pain is worse by lifting arm, taking the hand to the back, walking, lying on it etc.
Louis I remember posted about a combination of Caust and Ruta or Rhus prescribed by an Indian doctor that had worked well for her.
Exercises are really great help along side, to whatever extent it is possible... even when painful persist with the exercises
is it acute or chronic?
