<human>: I have had pain in the clavical , chest, and very painful biceps that will NOT go away. A shoulder X-Ray was normal no further action - so was told I had Frozen shoulder - end of story - take pain killers- could last 3 years. I am in agony morning noon and night and can t sleep. I am a musician - unable to play piano or other instruements-- more than anything I conduct mass choir (300 in number and need both arms) . My life seems to have come to an end. I am 74 - and lead a very active life.
<bot>: Hi, The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. Frozen shoulder is a pretty simple straightforward condition: the area gets scarred if there is inflammation and lack of moving it. Mild cases are FIXED by physical therapy and maybe some aspirin like Chat Doctor.  More serious cases need surgery first. This is going to be limited by pain. Steroid injection can fix it enough to start the physical therapy. It's a bit of a balance between moving the shoulder enough to free it and moving it so much as to injure it BUT, it takes a LOT to injure it. Piano, pretty okay, Trombone or cello, not so good. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
