My shoulder has been unable to lift for about two years.
symptom
My left shoulder has been hurting for the past two years, and I can only lift it slightly above horizontal, both from the front and the side.
The pain is located throughout the entire deltoid muscle, but the pain is particularly strong on the front side.
If you don't move it, there is no pain or discomfort.
Since the acupuncture treatments were performed at event booths, the treatments were limited to once a month.

Treatment and progress
Because there was significant tension in the back muscles related to shoulder movement, I inserted acupuncture needles in four locations in that area and one location in the neck.
At this point, I could raise my arm quite a bit.
I was experiencing pain when twisting my arm with it down, so I had acupuncture along my spine, which reduced the pain when twisting.
Acupuncture was performed on my legs and arms to relieve tension in my back muscles.
It's not as good as the previous case, but the pain has eased considerably, so I finished the first session.
When I checked it a month later, there was almost no deterioration, and the condition had been maintained.
The patient complained of pain when passing something from the driver's seat to the back of the car, so we added an extra pressure point on their back to improve the movement of pulling their elbow back, which made the movement easier.
The shoulder pain disappeared after using the same pressure points as the first time, but the range of motion is slightly worse compared to the better side.
I think it's because I hadn't lifted it for a long time, but since there was no pain, I stopped.
When I spoke to him a month later, he said his condition had stabilized.

Summary
I think the symptoms were stable, there was no inflammation, and the condition was relatively stable, which is why it improved with fewer treatments.
Since I hadn't done any movements that caused pain for two years, I think the joint itself had stiffened, leaving me with a slight limitation in range of motion.
