Hi clearly your mom needs to get examined either in person or online. She has something called as an upper cross syndrome. Its not actual   shoulder problem but problem in synchronized working of neck shoulder and back muscles.

This pain could b due to shoulder injury , frozen shoulder or neck pain radiating to shoulder , is she diabetic ? Any history of trauma ?

Hello, The pain could be because of frozen shoulder or radiating pain due to neck involvement. Proper assessment needs to be done to diagnose the exact cause. 1. Does she have a history of neck pain/spondylosis? 2. Does she has diabetes? 3. When did the pain start and its nature ? 4. Does it radiate in her whole arm? 5. How is her shoulder movement?

Shoulder pain at 47 years is common presentation. But we need other information. Since when does she have pain? Was there any injury before the onset of pain? Any diabetes,  thyroid problems? Any other health issues? Did she have any neck pain in the past? Does she have any other joint involvement? Are her movements at the shoulder joint full? We need to examine the patient as well. It is a little difficult to advise with so little information.

She should get an X-ray of her neck to rule out Cervical rib which usually causes pain as you have described.

The pain in shoulder should be the secondary cause please apply hot over her upper back and try to inform her to brace up her shoulders as possible.

Whether her blood pressure is under control? How long she is having shoulder pain? Was it a gradual onset of pain or sudden onset? Does she have neck pain? Does the pain radiates from neck? Did you check her blood sugar level recently?

1. Dominant or non dominant 2. Mobile use duration and how? 3. What all Domestic chores? This is stiffness of muscles around the shoulder due to overwork. Give complete rest for 2-3 days and ask her to begin with only 40-50% of the work she is making her shoulder do as of today.

Yes serious  frozen shoulder possible and other problems  so visit physiotherapy centre for proper diagnosis and treatment .
