One of my shoulders froze up in 1999.....it felt like an electrical bolt went off in my shoulder. It was frozen. I did the cortisone injections, PT and chiropractor and at home exercises. This was in a 9 month period. Nothing helped.

I had the surgery for frozen shoulder. It took 4 months of PT and at home exercise to completely get my range of motion back.

Two years later the other shoulder froze. I did not wait around on this one and went ahead and had the surgery. It took 4 months again to recover to get range of motion back. Frozen shoulders are painful. I'm glad I had the surgery to be honest. Only a doctor and probably a CT or MRI can tell for sure if your shoulder is frozen or if its rotator cuff. The orthopedic doctor can usually tell if its one or the other by testing your strength and movement in the office.

I wish you the best. Shoulder injury is no fun. Praying for you.
