Frustrating: This can be an amazingly frustrating problem because 75% will get better with meds and exercises but those that don't can also respond poorly to surgery. I would try glucosamine and keep my fingers crossed...If not you could try arthroscopy with only50% chance of any improvement.

Time: I assume you had steroid injections give a little time. Takes one to three weeks to see effect.

Ice,analgesics: Increased pain after joint injections is not unusual. Ice and oral pain killers can help.You many need prescription pain killers. It should subsid in a few days.
