I know this probably goes against all medical advice, but I use weights when something like that is bugging me. Light weights.
I had a similar problem in my right wrist. Lots of tingling and restriction of movement. I would get a sharp pain at certain angles.
I did forearm curls with 20/25 pounds and it made it better. I would rest my forearms on the edge of a piece of wood and slowly release the weight all the way down to as far as I could extend my fingertips. Then pull them back up.
It felt real good and then one night I heard a pop. I thought 'oh ****' I've done it now. Actually it got better after the pop.
I kind of have the same thing going on in my left shoulder right now. Been dealing with constant pain every time I lift my arm overhead for months. Just started using the light weights and doing shoulder exercises.
It's gone now. Even have strength back.
You have to move real slow with the weights though. Kind of like Yoga or stretching.
No sudden movements. You want to stretch more than pump.
I think of it as a resistance exercise, like Pilates. You'll feel it and the stretching is good for you.
Call it Yoga with weights.
I don't know, worked for me.
I always go to the point of pain and then a little further. Hold it for about 15/20 seconds and go back. Then keep doing it.
Eventually the pain is gone. Hopefully.
