Hi there I have a severe frozen shoulder right one and I am in a lot of pain have been for several weeks now been to GP a few times now they have given me exercise and painkillers and if it is still bad in a couple of weeks they will give me a cortesoid injection. I have had 3 in my left shoulder last one 18 months ago and they really help. I wish that they could do it now. I got out of the bath just now and slipped and the pain was excruciating I am wondering if it has come out of its socket I can still move it though so I am doubting that. Also I was wondering if a massage would help.

The NHS website confirms that if you can move your arm you've NOT dislocated your shoulder:

It also suggests that physiotherapy might help your frozen shoulder but goes on to state: "There is no clinical evidence to show that other treatments, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), Shiatsu massage or acupuncture are effective in treating frozen shoulder"

No, it won`t help. Massage is for soft tissues, not joints.
