My mother had it in BOTH shoulders. In her case, it was caused by a combination of 40+ years of "shrugging" a purse/handbag onto her shoulder, and the fact that she is short enough that sitting in a desk chair means her shoulders are usually raised simply so she can use the computer/typewriter on the desk.
Her orthopedist gave her cortisone shots and physical therapy. Do the exercises, they DO work...she found that an ibuprofen just BEFORE going to PT helped the post-therapy soreness. She also discovered that she had a couple of misaligned ribs (it's all connected...), which her chiropractor was able to fix.
