Hi,

This condition is called - in layman's terms a Frozen shoulder. The possibility of Muscle/tendon rupture during push-ups remains high. Diagnosis is by MRI. Treatment is pain killers and physiotherapy and depends on MRI report.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
