General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

There can be various reasons for the intense pain over shoulders such as:
- Synovitis
- Tendinitis
- Tenosynovitis
- Old mal-aligned fracture

Treatment is directed toward the cause. However following measures will help you:
- Local application of ice
- Analgesic ointment or spray use over the affected part
- Assisted physiotherapy
- Control of blood sugar, cholesterol, calcium levels
- Analgesic with anti-inflammatory properties such as Etoricoxib or else

When all the measures fail and the need of surgery is mandatory as evidenced by MRI scan, one may opt for the arthroscopic surgery repair of the ligaments or tendons.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
