Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you are having some cuffs tear in the shoulder. I would recommend you to get MRI of the shoulder joint to confirm the diagnosis. If there is torn tendon then you should get repair of the tendon.  For fomentation, we should use hot water and not cold fomentation. Avoid any heavy activity with that shoulder. I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
