Pain perception: One of two things may have occurred. Often when there are multiple "pain" sites, the body/ brain only perceives the pain of the highest intensity. When that source of pain is removed or diminished then the individual will begin to perceive other areas of pain. It can create an illusion that the pain moved. It is an interesting phenomena. Another possibility is "functional" trigger points. As >>.

Ortho eval: Shoulder mri, and general medical evaluation is what i would recommend. I think you need to increase the level of commitment to finding the cause.
