Wow @arpie your situation sounded terrible but also extreme.
@Siewli since you have been to your dr why not follow that advice. I assume your dr got an xray or scan for your diagnosis. I think we need to be careful jumping to see a surgeon at an initial stage, especially when you have already seen a dr about this.
I had bursitis in my shoulder along with inflammatory in my rotator cuff. My dr recommended physio and I am so glad I went for treatment. It worked. No surgery needed. Cortisone can be hit and miss. My husband had it and it worked a treat.
I think take things one step at a time. Try physio and if no success then escalate to the next step. Seeing a surgeon at this stage is a big step to take without following the other steps first. Go see a good physio and even ask your gp for a treatment plan for physio so it's cheaper if you don't have private cover.
Take care
