I feel your pain. I just got over a frozen shoulder - while I could ride my bike for a while, signalling for a left turn was impossible. But it was all the day to day stuff that was really bad - washing or brushing your hair, closing the car door, reaching for anything - these we take for granted, until you suddenly can't do them anymore. Finally after 3 months of PT, 2 cortisone shots, a 2nd set of x-rays and an MRI it was found that I had a bone spur. Had shouolder surgery to have it removed end November, along with a manipulation, another cortisone shot, and another 4 months of PT afterward. Now I have about 95% range of motion, and almost all strength. It was a tough year though while it was growing, and a tough recovery, but it is sooooo much better now.
Perhaps you need a second opinion, or further tests to determine the cause, so it can be fixed?
