You should consult a doctor or physiotherapist who can guide you through gentle stretching and strengthening exercises to improve movement and reduce stiffness. Regularly moving your shoulder, using heat therapy, and taking pain-relief medication, if needed, can help ease discomfort and prevent further stiffness. In some cases, your doctor may recommend steroid injections to reduce inflammation and support faster recovery.
