I had cortisone injection 2 weeks ago for frozen shoulder and impingement.now, i can't abduct my shoulder past 30 degrees. it's stuck with pain. why?

Still frozen: Just a shot is often insufficient to completely release a frozen shoulder.This condition often requires wks/months of physical therapy to fully recover. Good luck.
