Adhesive Capsulitis: Sometimes a steroid shot helps, but frozen shoulders are difficult painful problems. You really have to be aggressive with pt. However, the natural history of a frozen shoulder is that they improve by about 12-15 months and go through a "thawing phase." if you're still having this much pain, you may need a second opinion or an mri.

Frozen shoulders: Can be treated with a cortisone injection followed by physical therapy. Frozen shoulders are more common in diabetics for some reason not yet known. Any therapy and steroid injection should help somewhat even if it has been stiff for a long time.
