I have a shoulder problem in my left side now for over 1 year I have had mri scan ultra sound they have all came back clear when I have a shooting pain in my shoulder and gives me pins and needles in my hand and the doctor has given me stronger pain killers but they don't work been seeing a physio but they have given me a tens machine but that isn't helping just making the pain worse when u switch it off and it is worse at night time and if I use my arm too much as I am left handed what should I do xxx

I had the same problem. couldn't sleep because slight movement caused jolting pain from shoulder to finger tips.
I had it diagnosed as Frozen Shoulder. Options were surgery, cortezone shot or physical therapy.
I went with physical therapy for 3 sessions and decided to develop my own exercises. They told me it would take 2 yrs of physical therapy. I got my range of motion back in 3 months using my exercise. It was painful but got easier and easier to do.
Recovery rate depends on your personal pain threshold.

one exercise
lie on your back with left arm extended on the ground at 90 degrees from your body. Roll your body over towards your arm. Go as far as you can. Roll to flat position and repeat ( 50-100 times). My shoulder gave a clicking sound like something popping. The meniscus forms adhesions to the joint. The sound is breaking of the adhesion points. This really helped reduce my pain.
To get my range of motion required other exercises. Good luck. If this works for you and you need additional help, contact me.

Pain started due to me having to pull myself up and down stairs with shoulder getting overuse all due to broken ankle

Who thought one injury would lead to another???

sounds like you need to rest your shoulder not do physical therapy exercises.
