I had a steroid shot a couple of weeks ago, pain is 40% better. My problem is Impingement, much more common than Frozen Shoulder, and a different disease process altogether.
Frozen shoulder can take a year or more for the pain to resolve and the motion to be restored. Maybe the cortisone is wearing off and the painful phase of the illness isn't finished yet. The steroids may help but frozen shoulder has to run it's course.
If it's actually Frozen Shoulder, they rarely do anything surgical, and first the pain, then the reduced range of motion, go away in a couple of years.

Cochranes is an organization that assesses the effectiveness of medical therapies using only the highest quality evidence and the most stringent criteria. They often find that something doctors do very frequently fails to reach the bar.
