In addition to this intervention, patient will also receive conventional therapy which is monthly outpatient physiotherapy with supplementary home-based exercise program, and oral analgesia (except NSAIDs).~Solution: Buffered 5% dextrose.~Pre injection: Chronic constriction injury points will be identified by palpation along the shoulder's cutaneous nerves - the suprascapular, supraclavicular, axillary, musculocutaneous, and radial nerves. These points will be marked to ensure precise targeting. Taking into account these nerve pathways, the maximum injection area for this research is set at 10 sites per session."
