What Could Cause Sudden Pain In Shoulder While Having Heart Problem, Diabetes And High BP?

My mother is 73 and has a heart problem, is diabetic and suffers with high blood pressure. She had a fall two months back and luckily nothing was broken. After a month she started suffering with shoulder pain. We have done an x-ray. Nothing is showing. Can you please suggest some remedy for treatment

Hi...

Sorry to hear about the fall of your mother...
The pain in her shoulder could be due to spasm around the shoulder...that would have caused due to fall...
I suggest here to...
Keep icing In the painful area frequently...shoulder can be wrapped with ice gel pack if you have one...
She has to refrain from lying on that side...lifting any weights on that side...
She can have her shoulder gently massaged to reduce the stress on the joint and muscle spasm...
Icing can be applied to her neck also...

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need any further clarification....
