I agree with Lydia. If the doctor did not eliminate adhesive capsulitis, it might be worthwhile to try the following:
Stand up straight with arms to your sides, Bend the painful arm at the elbow only, so it is straight in front of you, with your hand oriented so the thumb is “up”. Have someone slowly pull and push on your extended hand while you try to resist. If you have pretty much nothing in the tank (yet your other arm is strong when you test it), you might have a.c., and need a new orthopedist.
In my experience, A.C. hurt like the dickens, but was easy to fix with massage, stretching (by a therapist), and exercises. Good luck.

Adhesive capsulitis is usually the cause when doctors can’t pinpoint anything significant from xrays. It’s especially prevalent in diabetics and it normally goes away in time, but the therapy for it is mind-numbingly painful.
