Frozen shoulder. : Best analgesic way is moisture heating pad local apply for 15 minutes and active and passive range of motion routinely. If acute pain may apply icy pad. Nsaids, such as celebrex, Mobic (meloxicam) etc, are also indicated. Avoid narcotic pain medications, which will relieve your pain briefly and bring you more pain later. Narcotics are not indicated for such kind chronic pain.

The shoulder paradox: Unusual to the shoulder joint, once it starts to 'get stuck', the pain develops, and pain increases as the joint becomes 'more stuck'. This kind of pain is best treated with Acetaminophen at therapeutic doses, and ice, and gentle range of motion of the joint. We teach a simple exercise called pendulum or codman's swing - google this! see a doctor if you need more help please.
