Too many things: A frozen shoulder is very painful and does not typically show up on a MRI like the other items do. These things typically do not go together. I would suggest another opinion from a shoulder specialist. I would suggest treating the adhesive capsulitis first and non-operatively. Then if you are still having issues, consider addressing the others with surgery.

Potentially: Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can usually very reliably allow repair of a torn labrum, the shaving away of a bone spur, and the lysis of adhesions that may be causing adhesive capsulitis. Thank you for your question.
