I had right shoulder pain since December 2024 which I left thinking it would get better on its own, however it just got increasingly worse to the point I had very limited movement and was constantly miserable due the the pain. 
I’d visited my GP, who referred me for an X-ray and prescribed painkillers but they did nothing for me. I was also on the waiting list to see a physio but knew that was going to take months. 
I was then offered an appointment with a physio in the surgery who is there 2 days a week and at this appointment I was given a Corticosteroid injection into my shoulder and regular exercises with a follow up in 6 weeks. I felt immediate relief and could actually move my arm without pain for the 1st time in months so I was able to continue with the exercises to build the strength back up. 
At my follow-up I did not require a 2nd injection and although I do not have full movement I no no longer have the pain. I will continue with the exercises given in the hope that this helps.
