From an Ayurveda perspective, this appears to be a long-standing Vata aggravation affecting the Mamsa (muscles), Snayu (tendons/ligaments), and Majja/Nadi (nerves) due to old injury and overstrain. Because the pain is chronic, movement is restricted, energy is low, and numbness occurs during exertion, the condition should not be treated only with pain injections.
----Youshould avoid heavy lifting and excessive strain, and should undergo proper Ayurvedic management focused on Vata shamana and strengthening therapy .

which in Ayurveda is often seen as a Vata imbalance involving the Majja (marrow/nervous system) and Mamsa (muscle) Dhatus.
​Since there is numbness, it is crucial to ensure there is no significant nerve compression or a complete grade-3 tear.
••Murivenna Oil Application: This is the gold standard in Ayurveda for sports injuries and fractures. Gently apply (do not massage) lukewarm Murivenna oil over the shoulder. It helps in rapid tissue repair.
To heal the tear from within and address the “Vata” causing the numbness, the following are often prescribed:
1.​Lakshadi Guggulu: 1-0-1 after food with normal water .A potent formulation that promotes the healing of tissues, muscles, and bones.
2.​Ksheerabala (101) Capsules: 1-0-1 after food with normal water .Taken with warm milk, this specifically targets nerve-related numbness and strengthens the neuromuscular junction.
3.​Gandha Thailam: A traditional bone and soft-tissue restorative. 5–10 drops with warm milk can accelerate the healing of a muscle tear.
Diet and Lifestyle (Ahara & Vihara)
••​Vata-Pacifying Diet: Consume warm, oily, and easy-to-digest foods. Avoid “dry” foods like sprouts, salads, or crackers, as these increase Vata and can worsen numbness.
••​Rest (Vishram): Complete rest for the shoulder is non-negotiable. Avoid any overhead movements or lifting weights.
••​Turmeric & Moringa: Incorporate Shigru (Moringa) into your diet, as it is a natural anti-inflammatory and rich in minerals required for muscle repair
