Aak her to reduce the use of the hand by 25-50%. The muscles of the shoulder have tired due to excessive use and also become stiff thereby comprising the flexibility.

Judging by her age, complaints and the fact that she was given steroids prior by orthopedicians  she might be having a "frozen shoulder". Consult me for further info.

Maybe nerve issue. Needs neuro opinion. Avoid pillow. Thanks
