It is an inflamation of the lining of the shoulder joint, and causes pain and restricted movement in the joint. Typically the arm cannot without pain be raised straight above the head, or far up the back, for example to fasten a brassiere.
It is of unknown causation, although many sufferers report a minor accident or strain a few weeks before onset. It is self-limitting (i.e it goes away of its own accord) but can take up to 2 years to go. It is very unusual for it to come back in the same joint, although it confers no immunity to any other joint in the body!
A doctor should be consulted, and will give a diagnosis based on the range of movement possible before pain occurs and the exact location of the pain. If it is indeed frozen shoulder treatment is usually by ibuprofen and hot and cold packs, followed by physiotherapy to restore movement. Steroid injections directly into the joint to relieve severe pain are unpleasant but very effective in removing the pain completely. In my case after two such injections at intervals of one month the pain did not recur and movement was restored almost immediately.
In rare cases the lining of the joint becomes permanently damaged. The pain disappears but movement is still limited, and surgery may be recommended to break the adhesions and restore movement.

∙ 10y agoCould be a few things.
- Could be sleeping in a awkward position
- Could even be that you pulled a muscle in your neck
I think you should try neck massage. If your neck can be out of place it might feel like it's your upper arm or shoulder that is the problem.
If you have been doing any heavy lifting. I would also not do that for a while.
You should go see your doctor if the pain persists.
Nerve pain is common and radiates from the neck.

Heart conditions can refer pain to the left arm, and many abdominal viscera can refer pain to the RIGHT shoulder/upper arm. However, I am not aware of any pain referral patterns from the low back or abdominal viscera to the left arm. Nor am I aware of any left arm conditions that can refer to the low back. However, that does not mean that it is not possible!!
