My 1 0 year old daughter has been suffering with a sore shoulder for a while now. She has been the doctors/physio who arranged an xray(no issue) and some stretches. One side is higher than the other. She has difficulty with full range of movements.

    I'm no doctor, but to me it looks like classic scoliosis (curvature of spine).

    Since your daughter is only 10 years old, measures can be taken towards correcting this (with plastic torso caste). Don't delay because as she nears full growth, it's essentially too late to correct. And it could get worse through life -- increasing curvature.

    I can't say how this may or may not affect sore shoulder, but there's definite significant scoliosis.
