It may be frozen shoulder - it is self limiting condition - it takes upto two years. If she is diabetic- make sure -sugar is controlled. If possible get x ray to our other causes . Consult orthopaedic dr. Treatment options - physio wax bath/IFT/USG , injections manipulation. In current situation mild painkillers and hot fomentation might help.
