I had that twice. 1st time got a shot from a Rheumathologist & it cleared.
He maintained it was like a clothesline with a knot trying to get over the pulley. With a little oiling it went over easier. Inflammation can prevent the smooth movement.
2nd time took triple strength chondroitin & glucosamine 2x per day for about 3 weeks (don't remember if it had an added ingredient) and made an appointment to see a different Rheumatologist back home. It cleared just before my appointment but I went anyway & that guy told me he would have had to send me to an Orthopedic Surgeon.
That was about 12 years ago & it hasn't been back since.
