I would recommend seeing an orthopaedic surgeon who can first assess why you have a stiff shoulder. There are many different causes for a stiff shoulder. Your doctor will take a detailed history, examine your shoulder, and may get xrays to confirm or rule out certain diagnoses. Depending on the diagnosis, massage therapy or chiropractic treatments may be an option, but it would be best to have an accurate diagnosis first.

How can I get rid of ankle pain?

There are many causes of ankle pain. Chronic ankle pain can be a result of primary or secondary osteoarthritis. Secondary osteoarthritis could be a result of recurrent ankle sprains in the remote past, or chronic inflammatory conditions, to name a few. The best is to see a general orthopedic surgeon or an orthopedic surgeon with foot and ankle subspecialty training. These physicians have either an MD or DO degree. They will take an accurate history, do a comprehensive examination, and will most likely take X-rays to help determine the cause of the pain and formulate a treatment plan that is best suited to your personal activity level and functional goals.
