Deep shoulder pain movement restricted
I have shoulder pain which is deep inside and pricking throughout, but there is nothing on touch and neither can be pointed out at a point on hand or shoulder. It suddenly comes as a shock, a sudden bolt upon movement (eg wearing a shirt, tying shoelace, combing hair), aggravates as a sudden one at particular movement. But constant nagging pain is there disrupting my daily life. It has been over a year now, tried a lot of medicines and drs, but there has not been muchhelp, which also includes taking a steroid injection. I am diabetic, with sugar levels under control with exercise, food control and medicines. Please advise and relieve me from this pain. Thankss in advance.

With your background of diabetes, you may be having "frozen shoulder" which causes pain and restriction of movement of shoulder.
The other possibilities are shoulder joint arthritis or rotator cuff tear.
You need to be assessed by an Orthopaedic Surgeon and any investigations as appropriate.
Hope this helps.
