Joint pain
My mother is having extreme joint pain in her shoulders and fingers, mostly in her right shoulder. She can't even lift her hand. She had a full hysterectomy done 5 years back. She is diabetic and her uric acid level is 8. We are confused if this pain is because of arthritis or not.

Mostly this seems to be due to diabetes only which is evolving into a frozen shoulder. Is the pain is worse in the night also.
If the pain is for more than a few months then PRP injection (platelet rich plasma) helps a lot in these cases.
