Pain in right shoulder since 8 months.
She had a fall and hurt her right shoulder joints.
Initially it was having more pain while raising hand and other hand movements. Consulted doctor and he suggested to eat medicines and use pain relief etc. He ruled out any dislocation or bone issues after a few days and asked to continue medicine for 2 months. She is also taking physiotherapy which gives some relief but pain stays. Wanted to know what could be the issue and how it can be cured permanently as it is 7-8 months now and the pain is still there.
