Frozen shoulder
I am suffering from rotator cuff problem. I took treatment for this but still I can't lift my right hand straight up and can't keep my hand back conveniently. Since from 8 months I have this problem . In the month of April one doctor given injection at the back of shoulder but I still suffered pain after three months i.e in the month of July I consulted another doctor he also given injection at back side and front of shoulder and advised to go for physiotherapy. I took physiotherapy treatment for 14 days and after that I started doing excercise at home , now I can lift my hand up but not straight. Still I feel pain in that area . Please help me in this matter. I nearly consulted 4 doctors in this matter all are not giving correct information.

The shoulder has some important muscles called the rotator cuff muscles. If any of these muscles are torn, it can cause shoulder pain and difficulty lifting your arm.
These muscles can be seen clearly on an MRI scan of the shoulder, so an MRI may be needed to find out if there is any tear.

For now, please avoid taking any more shoulder injections until we know the exact cause of your pain.

With symptoms persisting for 8 months despite injections and physiotherapy, you should have a proper shoulder reassessment rather than continuing repeated injections.
An MRI shoulder (if not already done) and examination for rotator-cuff tear, adhesive capsulitis, impingement and biceps pathology would be useful. Continue structured physiotherapy focusing on range of motion and rotator-cuff/scapular strengthening. If there is a significant/full-thickness tear or persistent functional limitation despite adequate conservative treatment, an orthopedic shoulder specialist should assess whether surgery is indicated.
