Since this is ENT I bet it is Sjogren.

Sjogren
Subject: Sjogren

Sjogren is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder that sometimes involves connective tissue. Symptoms often seen are dry eyes, dry mouth and fatigue. Lymphs "attack" moisture-producing glands. It affects organ systems as well along joints, muscles and skin. while I suppose a Sjogren FLARE could resolve, this is otherwise clearly a chronic disorder. Look for your clues in the ROS and PMI.

Otherwise, frozen shoulder syndrome often resolves with anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, heat, ice and physical therapy.

Hope this helps.
