I hope you feel better soon , i recommend further medication for 4 to 6 consecutive month before surgical interventions will be fine .

Detailed Answer:
Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

It may help for some months if given properly by a specialist , it is more recommended with knee arthritis than shoulders ,
I recommend you use it once weekly for 4 consecutive weeks then stop it for 4 months with the help of other medications like painkillers like tylenol tabs when needed , hot massaging with topical anti-inflammatory gels , muscle relaxants will be fine .
If medical and physiotherapy fail and that interfere with your daily normal activities then you may need a surgical intervention as your doctor have mentioned .
