You should take your mother to an Orthopaedic or Physiotherapist for an evaluation. Pain in the arm could be due to the neck too apart from being a shoulder issue. An early evaluation will clarify this.

Your mom should consult a nearby physiotherapist to assess her shoulders range restriction and painful movements.. That would give the therapist a rough idea of the injury or strain occurred in the shoulder.. Physio will definitely help her relieve that pain..
