What Causes Immobility Of Shoulders?

Shoulders have become immovable over the last 3 months. I have had blood work and rheumatologists to review symptoms. Dr conclusions, no PMR, no RA, no, no lyme disease, no septic arthritus, no spider bites. Diagnosis, likely fibromyalgia. Today I am unable to move arms. Going to emergency room today. Thinking it is a virus or some other item. Pain level excruciating

You can take medication before doing exercises to avoid stretch pain.
